Ravens want to keep defenses guessing with Lamar Jackson

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Lamar Jackson might be the quarterback of the future for the Baltimore Ravens, but he can be a headache in the present for opposing defenses.

In Jackson's NFL debut, the Ravens sent the message that the Heisman Trophy winner will be used frequently in an offense that sought to improve its playmaking ability this offseason. Jackson was on the field with quarterback Joe Flacco for five plays in the first half, including one where Jackson took the snap at quarterback and Flacco split out wide.
