John Harbaugh opens Ravens camp with defense of Lamar Jackson

WINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh capped his team's first practice of training camp Sunday with an impassioned defense of quarterback Lamar Jackson. Asked about the criticism directed at the NFL's reigning Most Valuable Player for not reaching the Super Bowl, Harbaugh delivered a stirring two-minute, 43-second response. "There's a lot of great things said about Lamar, but there's a lot of stuff that's said that you just got to scratch your head about and kind of wonder, 'What's that person even thinking?'" Harbaugh said Sunday. "But we take it personally." In February, at the age of 27, Jackson became the youngest two-time NFL MVP since the AFL merger. Since 2018, he has the second-best regular-season record in the league at 58-19 (.753), leading Baltimore to the NFL's best records in 2019 (14-2) and 2023 (13-4).

I think it's great that Harbaugh is backing Jackson like this. It's important for a quarterback to have that kind of support. What do you think his defense will mean for Jackson's performance this season?
