If there’s one breakout team this NFL season, it has to be the Baltimore Ravens. Led by Lamar Jackson, the team turned around a rough start of 0-2 to now sit at 4-2, making them serious contenders. Regarding this situation, it was none other than a former Pro Bowl player who made a clear statement about it.
The player in question is Luke Kuechly, former linebacker for the Carolina Panthers. In a recent appearance on the show Up & Adams, he shared his thoughts on the remarkable performance of QB Jackson and the Ravens.
The legendary Panthers player, who made seven Pro Bowl appearances, acknowledged that he sees Lamar enjoying the best moment of his career since entering the NFL: “He’s starting to get into the prime of his career,” Kuechly said.
“And they’ve obviously brought Derrick Henry and I think [Todd] Monken’s done a great job. … But I mean, all Lamar has really ever done is win games and score points and go to the playoffs. I mean, I think, what, five out of his seven years in the NFL, the Ravens have gone to the playoffs. I just think they’re big, they’re physical. They know what they are. Lamar is a problem.” Kuechly finally concluded.
