Lamar Jackson reveals what he's looking to change after falling short of the Super Bowl with Ravens

The sting of that frustrating loss to the Bills still lingers in the minds of Ravens fans—a defeat that left Baltimore empty-handed in their pursuit of a Super Bowl berth. Lamar Jackson knows there’s one specific area of his game that needs improvement, and he’s working tirelessly every day to refine it—not just for his own growth, but for the success of the entire team.

Communication with teammates could be a key factor in building strong chemistry within the locker room—and the former Louisville standout knows this is one area where he still needs to put in extra effort.

“Just being a leader. I’m going to say being a leader because I’m really not outspoken,” Jackson told Kevin Hart when asked what has been hard for him to adjust to. “Being vocal with my guys, like ‘Let’s do this and that’ with a great motivational speech, I don’t have that. I just pretty much lead by example.

“I’m going to go out there, I’m going to work hard and I expect that out of you, but as I’ve been growing in the league it’s like ‘No, you got to talk to the guys.’ Coaches like to tell me, ‘You’ve got to talk to the guys.’ I’m like, all right, I’ll talk to them one-on-one. Certain things I’m seeing, I’ve got to voice it more, voice my opinion more to those guys.”
