The Baltimore Ravens had a season to forget in 2021 that was plagued with injuries and last minute losses. However, a healthy Baltimore team is a playoff-caliber group and one with plenty of potential. One of the injuries the Ravens faced last season was that of quarterback Lamar Jackson, who missed the final six games of the year with an ankle injury.
The Ravens know their offense is revolved around Jackson. The quarterback has put the team on his back more than once, becoming one of the more sensational players in the league. His injury last season has a couple analysts saying he will be under pressure to bounce back in 2022. In a media call on Monday, ESPN commentators Troy Aikman and Joe Buck commented on Jackson entering the 2022 season. Buck talked about how big of a year it will be for the fifth-year quarterback.
“This is a big year for him. It’s obviously a big year for the Ravens. They’re a really good team, and by all accounts, time will tell. They had a great draft and have added a lot of talent. They did lose Hollywood, so we’ll see how that all shakes out…But I think there’s a bit of pressure on him to kind of erase what happened in the second half of last year, and who knows how healthy he was.”
