Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson entered the league with a lot of expectations from NFL fans and his fellow NFL players. Among the recent admirers of his qualities and abilities is the 7-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady. However, a little-known fact for the legendary QB will be regarding Jackson’s plans for his NFL future and dreams of becoming Brady’s second coming.

During an NFL Network interview with former Ravens WR Steve Smith, the Ravens QB shared his ambitions in a revealing interview. While underlining his ambitions with the franchise, Jackson stated, “Every day I think about the Super Bowl. It’s been on my mind since the first game of the season. When I got drafted, I told Baltimore that’s what I was gonna do. I wanna be like the Brady of my era.”

The amazing part of his quotes seems to have caught the attention of Brady, who admired the young QB and his potential to be great. The 2019 AP league MVP was on his way to capturing his first major honor after a breakthrough campaign. In 2019, Jackson showed a significant jump, recording 3,127 passing yards, 36 TD passes, and 6 INTs.

Can Lamar Jackson regain the heights of 2019 in the upcoming campaign?

It was an uncharacteristic poor form stretch for the Ravens’ QB and compounded further by an ankle sprain in Week 14. While he made 12 appearances before his injury, Jackson was a shadow of himself in 2021. He recorded 2,882 passing yards, 16 TD passes, and 13 INTs. The bar of expectations is set high for Jackson and what he brings to the table for the Ravens.

The improvements to their offensive line and running back depth during the offseason will be a back-to-basics routine for Jackson and the Ravens. They found a lot of success in 2019 and will count on it working again in the upcoming 2022 NFL campaign.
