Lamar Jackson vows focus as Ravens prepare for 2026 season
Quarterback Lamar Jackson said he is "super confident" and fully committed to the Baltimore Ravens as they head into the 2026 NFL season. He emphasized cutting distractions, adding boxing sessions for conditioning and training at the Under Armour Performance Center, and early‑morning workouts with receiver Zay Flowers. Jackson also noted a strong connection with head coach Jesse Minter and first‑year offensive coordinator Declan Doyle.
Jackson was ranked No. 69 on the NFL Top 100 list, a drop that reflects a down 2025 campaign in which he missed four games, rushed for a career‑low 349 yards and was sacked 36 times. In contrast, his 2024 season featured 41 passing touchdowns and only four interceptions. He signed a long‑term contract in 2023, leaving two seasons remaining on the deal.
The quarterback’s statements come amid speculation about his future and the Ravens’ quest to return to playoff contention after an 8‑9 record last year.
