“Now, I think the Ravens are the only place that should pay him top dollar, so whatever Watson got, Lamar should get that plus 15 to 20 more guaranteed. Just because of what he’s done for the organization. Having said that, I do believe there are things he needs to fix in his game in order to take that team to the promised land.”

How did the Lamar Jackson-Bernard Pollard banter begin?

It all started when ESPN’s Ryan Clark tweeted to support Jackson, suggesting he has to be among the top 10.

According to Pollard’s comments, Jackson will be a top 10 talent rather than a top 10 quarterback. He then responds to a user’s tweet saying no top WR would play for the Baltimore Ravens QB.

Twitter-savvy Lamar Jackson sees it and responds to Pollard with a smack in return. But the Super Bowl-winning Safety schooled the Ravens QB1.

It led both entities to lash out at each other via tweets, and social media users took notice.

Eventually, Lamar put the banter aside and apologized to the former safety. Pollard accepted the apology, and the situation came back to normal. Undoubtedly, Jackson and Pollard gave many NFL fans the offseason drama they would like to see.
