Lamar Jackson. In 2019, his first full season as starter, Jackson set a record for the most rushing yards in a season by a quarterback, led the league with 36 touchdown passes, and became the second unanimous NFL Most Valuable Player winner in league history. He was also the fourth African-American quarterback to win the award…
Cass is very excited about the 2021 season. Lamar Jackson has been our starting Quarter Back for 2 years and during that time the Ravens are the highest scoring team in the NFL and lead the league in time of possessions, and point differential (Number of points scored/Number of points allowed). Jackson is #5 in the Quarter Back Rating at 106.6 with 62 Touchdown Passes. Oh and Lamar has the 6th most rushing yards in the league with 6.6 yards a carry, so he’s not just a running back. There are many targets for Lamar this season as the Ravens continue to grow its offense culture. They want an extension with Mark Andrews who is a guaranteed hit for Lamar. Cass talks about what the priorities are when it comes to his role in the draft and recent moves the Ravens have made.
