Lamar Jackson is a two-time NFL MVP, but his performance through seven weeks of the 2024 season could be the best he’s ever played.
Jackson and the 5-2 Ravens will face the 1-6 Cleveland Browns on Sunday at Paycor Stadium. Ahead of Thursday’s practice, the Browns’ defensive coordinator was asked about Jackson’s continued improvement.
Schwartz highlighted Jackson’s growth from a perceived run-first quarterback to a player dominating the passing game.
Browns DC Jim Schwartz on QB Lamar Jackson: “He’s gone from a run-first quarterback to a pass-first quarterback that can make plays. … They pretty much opened the whole passing game up to him.”
