Lamar Jackson Laughs At A List Featuring His Top Target

Yes, the Baltimore Ravens are playing an unconventional offense that is anchored by versatile quarterback Lamar Jackson.

But why fix something that isn’t broken?

Since Jackson became their starter, they’ve been in the playoffs in three out of four seasons.

They could have entered the 2021 playoffs if Jackson did not suffer from an ankle injury.

Furthermore, they continued to be one of the best run offenses in the NFL even if they lost Gus Edwards and J.K. Dobbins to season-ending injuries.

Likewise, their top receiver is a tight end which not a lot of teams can boast.

That’s why Jackson felt the need to react to Darren Waller‘s list of the top five tight ends in the league.

Waller puts Ravens tight end Mark Andrews at number five, behind him, Travis Kelce, George Kittle, and Kyle Pitts.

Jackson is wondering why his teammate is ranked that low even if he had 1,361 yards and nine touchdowns last season.

After all, Andrews had more receiving yards than the other four tight ends on the list and had more yards than Tyreek Hill and Stefon Diggs.

He also had five 100-yard games, the best of which was his 147-yard, two-touchdown performance versus the Indianapolis Colts.

 

Andrews Is An Example Of Baltimore’s Approach In Roster-Building

The Ravens have been good at finding talent in the middle rounds of the draft and Andrews is no exception.

Likewise, they could not care less if their top receiver is a tight end because it prevents them from paying a high cost to get more prominent wideouts.

After all, there’s no difference if a tight end or a wide receiver racks up the yards, as long as the drive continues.

That said, Andrews is proving that he’s worth the four-year, $56 million deal he signed last year.
