John Harbaugh addresses Lamar Jackson's absence from Week 2 of Ravens OTAs
John Harbaugh addresses Lamar Jackson's absence from Week 2 of Ravens OTAs John Harbaugh said The measure for any player is how they play and that Lamar Jackson is his guy when asked about Ravens star missing OTAs After making two appearances last week, Baltimore MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson has missed the second week of OTAs, which were held on June 3, June 5, and June 6. The Ravens have three more sessions scheduled before the mandatory minicamp this month, and head coach John Harbaugh has no concerns about his star quarterback's absence. Following Friday's session, Harbaugh was asked about Jackson's absence and gave a strong response. If big game results are what Harbaugh is focused on, then the Ravens will be fine when Jackson returns for mini-camp and late July training camp. Last season, Jackson was a finalist for the Associated Press NFL MVP and Offensive Player of the Year awards. Leading Baltimore to its second straight AFC North title, Jackson was first-team All-Pro and set career highs for passing yards (4,172), touchdown passes (41), quarterback rating (119.6), and completions (316). Jackson led the NFL in rushing yards by a quarterback (915) and became the first player in league history with at least 4,000 passing yards and 800 rushing yards. He also became the league's all-time rushing leader at quarterback with 6,173 yards, surpassing the previous record held by Michael Vick (6,109).

Lamar Jackson lands behind Joe Burrow in a PFF ranking of all 32 NFL quarterbacks for 2025
Lamar Jackson lands behind Joe Burrow in a PFF ranking of all 32 NFL quarterbacks for 2025 PFF ranked all 32 NFL quarterbacks ahead of the 2025 season, and Lamar Jackson landed behind Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes Ranking all 32 NFL starting QBs heading into the season 🚀 — PFF (@PFF) May 20, 2025 Lamar Jackson is a two-time NFL MVP and should have won the award in 2024. Baltimore's 2025 NFL offseason is underway, and the Ravens' focus has shifted to reshaping the roster and giving their star signal-caller an extended Super Bowl window. Baltimore is just days from the start of OTAs, which means the yearly positional rankings have begun. PFF started with the quarterback position and caused controversy when it listed Jackson at No. 3 on the list, behind Joe Burrow. The participants were ranked into tiers, and Jackson maintained his status as an elite talent. Jackson is coming off the best season of his career and one of the highest-graded quarterback campaigns in PFF history, finishing 2024 with a 94.9 overall grade. The two-time NFL MVP remains the most dynamic player at the position, blending elite arm talent with unmatched rushing ability. The only lingering blemish on his résumé is his postseason record. If Jackson can translate his regular-season dominance into playoff success and capture a Super Bowl, he'll cement his place among the NFL's all-time greats. Jackson landed behind Patrick Mahomes, Burrow, and ahead of Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts, and Jayden Daniels. Last season, Jackson was a finalist for the Associated Press NFL MVP and Offensive Player of the Year awards. Leading Baltimore to its second straight AFC North title, Jackson was first-team All-Pro and set career highs for passing yards (4,172), touchdown passes (41), quarterback rating (119.6), and completions (316). Jackson led the NFL in rushing yards by a quarterback (915) and became the first player in league history with at least 4,000 passing yards and 800 rushing yards.
