Lamar Jackson missed the start of training camp because of an illness. Then Baltimore coach John Harbaugh began talking up his absent star quarterback. Harbaugh spoke for more than two minutes about Jackson after the Ravens finished their first full-squad practice of camp.

Moments earlier, Harbaugh had talked about some of the team’s themes entering the 2024 season: vision, standards — and the ability to meet and raise the standard. The Ravens set the bar pretty high last season with a dominant regular season. Jackson won his second MVP award. But Baltimore lost in the AFC championship game to Kansas City, whose own quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, has put together an impressive resume in the debate over the greatest quarterback of all time.
“Lamar’s a guy, all his life, Lamar Jackson has been a guy who’s been answering those same questions. I’m talking about since he was a kid, junior high, high school, college, the draft, the success he’s had in the National Football League — and it still comes up.”
