‘He Is A Master’: Ravens Coach Singles Out Lamar Jackson’s Attribute That Separates Him From Other Elite QBs Amidst Contract Uncertainty

Lamar Jackson has recently been under fire and criticism for missing the voluntary OTAs. However, he cleared the noise by being present at the mandatory minicamp. Moreover, as his rookie contract is set to expire after this season; analysts wonder what this means in terms of his gameplay. Consequently, Ravens’ coach James Urban claims; that Jackson is the master of ignoring outside distractions.

Urban remarked, “We’ve always had this mentality when we come to this building; when you walk through the doors of The Castle here in this beautiful facility, we go to work. When we walk out onto the field, it’s time to work.”

Further, commenting on Lamar Jackson’s ability to ignore the outside noise, he said, “We don’t worry about the outside distractions. He is a master of that. He is tremendously good at focusing on the task at hand. When we’re in meetings, that’s the task. Or when we’re on the field, that’s the task.”
