Lamar Jackson says the new play-caller has his mind going places
It takes a lot to impress a two-time league MVP. Lamar Jackson is impressed.
Jackson has been one of the most dynamic players in football for years — a quarterback who makes defenses guess in ways they haven't fully solved. So when he calls someone's approach to calling plays mind-blowing, that word lands with some weight.
This offseason, the Baltimore Ravens brought in Declan Doyle to run the offense from the sideline. Jackson has taken notice. His reaction to Doyle's play-calling style wasn't polite or measured — it was the kind of genuine enthusiasm that tends to mean something when it comes from a player who has seen everything.
For a team that already has one of the most talented quarterbacks in the game, having him genuinely locked in on a new voice is a different kind of momentum. Not the kind measured in yards or wins — the kind measured in trust.
The season hasn't started yet. But Jackson sounds like someone who can't wait for it to.
““It’s a different system than what I’m accustomed to being in, and I feel like there’s going to be a lot of explosiveness this year,” Jackson said, via a transcript from the team. “The way Declan calls plays and his creativity with his mind — how detailed he is — it’s mind-blowing. I’m excited.””
