Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is coming off of a rookie campaign in which he stepped in for an injured Joe Flacco, stole the starting job, and led the Ravens to an AFC North division title.
However, on Tuesday, Jackson posted an Instagram video which showed him driving 105 mph. What's worse, a light on Jackson's dashboard seemed to indicate that someone in the vehicle was not wearing a seatbelt.
According to Childs Walker of The Baltimore Sun, the Ravens have stated that they were aware of the incident and that they addressed it.
On Wednesday, Jackson took to Twitter to apologize for the occurrence.
I made a bad decision and will set a better example going forward. #Myapologies

The 22-year-old, who played his collegiate football at the University of Louisville, was originally selected by the Ravens in the first round (32nd pick overall) of the 2018 NFL Draft.
He ended up making seven starts and throwing for 1,201 yards, six touchdowns, and three interceptions while completing 58.2 percent of his passes and registering a passer rating of 84.5.
While he was only so-so in the passing game, Jackson was incredible as a rusher, racking up 695 yards and five scores while averaging 4.5 yards per carry.
His most impressive ground performance came during his first start of the season, when he carried the ball 26 times for 119 yards in a 24-21 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.
Also, in Week 17, Jackson finished with 90 yards off of 20 carries and punched in two rushing touchdowns.
The Ravens won 10 games and captured the AFC North division crown before ultimately losing to the Los Angeles Chargers in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs.
