Lamar Jackson Reveals Unusual Source for Ravens Plays He Pitches to Coaches

As Lamar Jackson prepares for his sixth NFL season, he and the Ravens will be doing so while adjusting to a new offensive coordinator. The team hired Todd Monken to replace Greg Roman, who had held the role for the previous four years. Following Tuesday’s practice, Jackson spoke about how the offense is coming along—and revealed that he’s been pitching plays to the new coaching staff from a highly unusual source.

“I was just on social media, and I saw a couple of routes, and I sent it to [quarterbacks] coach Tee [Martin], and he was like, ‘I’m going to relay the message to coach [Todd] Monken,’” Jackson said, per ESPN’s Jamison Hensley. “Coach Monken liked the play, so he put it in practice. We didn’t show it today, but I feel like it will be good for us.”
