Ravens MVP Lamar Jackson is already impressed with the new faces in QB room

The Baltimore Ravens have seen quarterback Lamar Jackson evolve before their eyes. He’s been one of the best quarterbacks in the league for a long while now and is the heart and soul of Baltimore’s current franchise.

It’s no secret that as long as Jackson is healthy, the Ravens have a chance to win a Super Bowl, but if he’s not, those odds go down dramatically. Jackson was asked about the new faces in Baltimore’s quarterback room and said they can spin the ball and look good.

“Awesome. Those guys can spin the ball – ‘Dev’ [Devin Leary], ‘Em’ [Emory Jones] – those guys [are] looking good, no doubt.”

The players that Jackson referred to were sixth-round rookie Devin Leary and undrafted rookie Emory Jones. While fellow quarterback Josh Johnson is Jackson’s current backup, he’s not the long-term solution, leading the way for one of the younger guys to step up and slide into that role down the line.
