Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is among the league’s top players seeking an extension as he heads into the final year of his rookie contract. However, he has yet to sign on the dotted line, leading many to wonder if the lack of a long-term deal for the former league MVP will lead to tension in Baltimore.
But one Ravens assistant isn’t worried about the contract negotiations affecting Jackson’s ability to lead the team.
Speaking to reporters on Friday, Baltimore quarterbacks coach James Urban explained that Jackson is a “master” at keeping his focus on the task at hand, regardless of whatever outside distractions there might be.
