The hype surrounding Lamar Jackson is going up and above. The quarterback is playing a big gamble on playing in the final year of his rookie deal. As the situation escalates, imminent rumbles get into the mix, and Bill Belichick is among them. Additionally, the Ravens QB mused into a scenario where he saw something few NFL athletes and fans get to witness.

On Wednesday, Lamar Jackson showed up at a press conference and mused about a specific time involving Bill Belichick. It was the time when the quarterback visited Florida for a workout. Apart from Josh McDaniels, he encountered Belichick and witnessed a distinct perspective. Jackson had one word which expressed his fascination.

Lamar Jackson mentioned with a smile, “I’ve seen Belichick smile. Usually, when I see him, he’s puzzled face, a straight-faced guy. When I saw him smile, I was like, ‘Damn! you’ve got humor. I wasn’t expecting you to be smiling.’”

The Ravens QB’s rare encounter took place in 2018. It was when the Patriots were preparing themselves to move from the Tom Brady era. For LJ, it was a sight to see as he did not expect to see a smiling Bill Belichick. However, he does not know what made the Patriots’ legendary head coach smile that day.
