Lamar Jackson arrives for Ravens off-season workout program
Showing his commitment to new head coach Jesse Minter and OC Declan Doyle, Lamar Jackson was in attendance for Day 1 of the Ravens' off-season workout program. Jackson's early arrival comes after Minter said he's unsure how much Lamar Jackson will participate in the Baltimore Ravens voluntary offseason program, though the quarterback is excited about the upcoming workouts. The first-year head coach made the startling revelation during his media session at the NFL owners' meetings in Phoenix, Arizona.
Baltimore has a new head coach in Minter, a new offensive coordinator, and a new system with first-year playcaller Declan Doyle, making Jackson's potential absence even more concerning. Baltimore midst of a potential franchise-altering offseason, where general manager Eric DeCosta has made some big moves as he continues to create another Super Bowl window. That included the decision to move on from Tyler Linderbaum, Isaiah Likely, and others, while backing out of a trade for Maxx Crosby.

It's an important year for Jackson, who missed four games last season and finished with 2,549 yards, 21 TDs, 7 INTs, and a 103. 8 passer rating (No. 4 in NFL).
His 8. 1 net yards per pass attempt tied for the NFL's third-highest rate. Now, it'll be on Doyle (OC) to truly unlock Jackson's potential.
