Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is coming off one of the most spectacular individual seasons in NFL history. Regardless, it appears there is still plenty of work to be done for the MVP frontrunner.
According to ESPN's Jamison Hensley, Jackson feels every aspect of his game needs to improve:
“Everything. I’m not the best, I’m not the greatest,” Jackson said. “I’m going into my third year, and I’m trying to get somewhere. I’m trying to get to the Super Bowl. So I gotta work on everything.”
It is encouraging to see that Jackson is not ready to rest on his merits just yet. After all, it is safe to say the Ravens fell vastly short of expectations when they were bounced out in the AFC Divisional Round following a spectacular regular season.
Jackson has taken the league by storm thanks to his versatile skill set under center. Although he managed to show off his speed as a rookie, it was finally paired with his prowess in the passing game this season thanks to the work he put in. His efforts were magnified by the scheme that head coach John Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Greg Roman tailor-made for him.
Jackson caught some flak for his underwhelming performance in the Ravens' loss to the Tennessee Titans that ended the season. Despite his shortcomings in the playoffs thus far, the significant improvements he has made in such a short span indicate that it is only a matter before he is able to prove any remaining doubters wrong.
