Despite winning two MVP awards, Lamar Jackson still has his fair share of critics.
Fresh off another playoff disappointment, the Baltimore Ravens quarterback had arguably the worst season of his career last year.
It was the first time he finished under .500 as a starter and the first time since 2021 he wasn’t in the playoffs after the season came down to a field goal attempt.

Perhaps the skeptics were on Jackson’s mind earlier this week because he gave them a faith-filled message about X.
“Instead of trying to bring me down, ask GOD to lift you up,” Jackson wrote with emojis of praying hands, a purple heart and a military helmet. “#JESUSCHRISTROY OF KINGS.”
Jackson missed four games with a hamstring injury that seemed to affect him for most of the year. His 2,549 passing yards were the third lowest mark of his career, while he rushed for only 349 yards, the lowest he ever had.

The quarterback shared several faithful messages this week, including wearing an “I LOVE JESUS” hoodie. Many of Jackson’s reruns on X show his faith.
Jackson will have a new head coach this season after his Ravens fired John Harbaugh after 18 seasons. Jesse Minter was hired after serving as defensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Chargers, coached by Harbaugh’s brother Jim.
