Wide receiver Zay Flowers noted a shift in quarterback Lamar Jackson when the two‑time MVP reported for the Ravens’ offseason workout this week. "He’s always ready … even more ready this year," Flowers said, adding that Jackson is eager to work with new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle and hungry for a ring.

Jackson’s appearance broke his usual pattern of skipping spring voluntary sessions and coincided with a first‑ever offseason program under defensive coordinator Jesse Minter, who succeeded John Harbaugh after 18 seasons. Alongside Derrick Henry, Kyle Hamilton and Roquan Smith, the QB’s presence signaled urgency as the roster prepares for nine weeks of workouts before a June minicamp.

Since entering the league in 2018, Jackson has compiled a 76‑31 regular‑season record, second only to Patrick Mahomes, yet he is 3‑5 in the postseason and has never reached the Super Bowl. Coming off a 6‑7 campaign marred by hamstring and back injuries, his renewed drive could be the catalyst Baltimore needs to end the AFC Championship drought.

Coach Scott Elliott praised the energy in the facility, saying the work ethic displayed this week bodes well for the team’s pursuit of a championship.
