One reason Jackson is so confident in the Ravens this year is because the game seems to be slowing down for him. Jackson explained to Hart that things have actually gotten "easier" as his career has progressed. "As I've been getting older in the league, my mindset has been different and the game has gotten a lot easier for me," Jackson said.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has had quite a run in the NFL since arriving in 2018. Coming off a Heisman Trophy at Louisville, he came to a team with a Super Bowl -winning head coach in John Harbaugh and quarterback in Joe Flacco.

While speaking with Ravens reporter Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic for a piece published on Wednesday, Baltimore wide receiver Rashod Bateman defended Jackson against what have become all-too-familiar criticisms.
