Ravens HC Harbaugh on Lamar Jackson’s Role Next Season: ‘I Can’t Even Emphasize Enough How Determined He Is to Improve and Get Our Offense to Where it Needs to Be’

The Ravens could not make a significant impact this season. Even though the quarterback Lamar Jackson had a good year, Baltimore could not make it to the playoffs. Jackson has proven himself time and time again. Unfortunate injuries also prevent this superstar quarterback from appearing in the Pro Bowl this year.

Despite the setbacks, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh is 100% behind his quarterback. He thinks Jackson has gifted abilities for football and he is determined to improve. Jackson wants to get out there and play on the level that everyone knows he can. 

Lamar Jackson with the Baltimore Ravens

Lamar Jackson was the 32nd overall first-round draft pick in 2018. Before being selected by the Baltimore Ravens, he attended college at Louisville. Jackson won the Heisman Trophy during his sophomore year. The 25-year-old has impressed everyone ever since he stepped foot on a football field. 

Lamar Jackson has won the MVP award in 2019. He has also made two Pro Bowl appearances in 2019 and 2021. The quarterback was also the passing touchdown leader of the league in 2019.

2021 was not the Ravens’ year. The team struggled all throughout the season. Injuries have haunted the squad for a long time. In Week 13, we learned that Lamar Jackson is suffering from bruised bones. This injury has sidelined the star quarterback for most of the latter half of the regular season. It affected the team big-time as they went on a six-game losing streak. 

The bone injury prevented Lamar from entering the Pro Bowl this season. On Monday, the HC John Harbaugh gave everyone an update on Jackson’s injuries.  

John Harbaugh is proud of Jackson

Lamar Jackson is among the NFL elite without a doubt. The Ravens’ quarterback was so impressive that EA put him on the cover of Madden 21. Maybe the infamous ‘Madden Curse’ got him. 

John Harbaugh recently talked about the role of Lamar in the squad. He said, “Lamar is really, really determined. I can’t even emphasize enough how determined he is to improve and get our offense to where it needs to be. As a coaching staff and personnel staff, we want to do our part.” 

Knowing the kind of player Jackson is, we all know he will bounce back stronger than ever before.
