Kirby Smart
Physique: Husky Build Height: 5'10" (1.78 m)
Kirby Paul Smart (born December 23, 1975) is an American football coach and former player. He is the current head football coach at the University of Georgia, his alma mater. As head coach, he led the Bulldogs to back-to-back national championships in 2021 and 2022.
Handsome, solid body, nice dick sucking lips (dsls) and if you look closely you will note that he has a ferociously furry arms. So he's possibly hair. I must of had blinders on before because I never realize how hot Kirby is. I don’t know why I haven’t notice him til now. Oh I know, I haven’t seen a Georgia game in who knows how long. Now I’m going to change that.
Born in Montgomery, AL, and grew up in Bainbridge, GA. Smart began his playing career at Bainbridge High School and went on to play college football at the University of Georgia. Smart graduated from the Terry College of Business in 1998 with a bachelor's degree in finance. He went undrafted in the 1999 NFL draft and signed a free-agent contract with the Indianapolis Colts. He spent the 1999 preseason with the team but was cut before the start of the regular season. In 2003, Kirby attended Florida State University for graduate school.
Smart began his coaching career with the University of Georgia in 1999, Valdosta State in 2001, and at Florida State while pursuing a master's degree from 2002 to 2003. Smart then spent one season under head coach Nick Saban in 2004 before following to Miami Dolphins in 2006 then to the University of Alabama in 2007. On December 1, 2015, it was "reported" that Smart had been hired as the next coach for Georgia.
Again married… aren't all the hot ones? He pretty much seems to have lived and breathed football his entire life, when he wasn't marrying his college sweetheart, Mary "Beth" Elizabeth Lycett (awww) and having three kids. There isn't much else I can say about him. He's good looking and I'd love to fuck him until his head caved in. Well, he would probably disagree.
Head Coaching Record Overall: 100–17 Bowls: 9–2 Tournaments: 5–1 (CFP) National 2 SEC (2017, 2022) 6 SEC East Division (2017–2019, 2021–2023)
Accomplishments and Honors Awards: George Munger Award (2017) 3× SEC Coach of the Year (2017, 2021, 2022) Broyles Award (2009) AFCA Assistant Coach of the Year (2012) First-team All-SEC (1998) Second-team All-SEC (1997)

Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, says his friend + former teammate Tyreek Hill deserves “nothing but love.” Tyreek Hill is an abuser who attacked his pregnant girlfriend.
Yeah, you fucking heard that right. The boyfriend of Taylor Swift is friends with a domestic abuser and thinks he deserves “nothing but love.”
In 2014, Travis Kelce’s bestie, Tyreek Hill, was dismissed from Oklahoma State after he was arrested for choking his pregnant girlfriend and punching her in the stomach.
Despite committing such a heinous crime, the NFL drafted him in 2016, proving once again that they don’t give a SHIT about violence against women.
In 2019, Tyreek Hill was recorded THREATENING his fiancée and had apparently abused his child as well.
In addition, he was also accused of breaking another woman’s leg last year.
Hill has received no consequences for his actions, no jail time, not even a single game suspension.
Will the self-proclaimed feminist @taylorswift dump her boyfriend for being friends with an abuser, or was she only a “feminist” for a few eras to sell albums? Unfortunately, I think we all know the answer to that one.

hey! would you mind explaining the butterfly mural story? :)
oh yes absolutely!!
so, for some background, it was around mid-April 2019 and taylor had just begun teasing something. it had began with some cryptic posts, a countdown, and insta photo close ups of props with the caption "4.26" (April 26) so swifties were already in delulu mode.
well, all of a sudden on like April 16 (i don't remember when taylor's countdown/cryptic posts started so this might've been BEFORE the insta posts which would leave us even more clueless) I'm not sure who noticed it first, but someone found this butterfly mural that had randomly gone up in nashville
(photo)
now nashville is not a stranger to a mural but it was by Kelsey Montague who was known for her big murals of wings as part of her #WhatLiftsYou campaign. But people noticed this new one she put up had a lot of Taylor Swift references (specifically cats and 13 hearts.....) and the swifties were immediately suspicious!! fans were already flocking to it just out of the gate convinced it was connected to taylor swift
now as we got closer to this cryptic April 26 date i think swifties were hanging out around it or at least monitoring it because so many were so convinced, and on April 25, the artist SHOWS UP AT THE MURAL and begins PAINTING. the painted the word "ME!" in the middle of it in black.
the clowning had truly begun. people were pretty sure now ok i mean even just look at the crowd that was there before the artist began painting. there was no way this wasn't connected to taylor (despite the fact the only evidence we had was......a date, cats, and 13 hearts)
but here's the thing - we were sure it was connected to taylor but no one knew what was happening next
before I get there, though, there was some debate. some people were not convinced it was for taylor especially given this artist and her history of wing murals. also at the time the NFL draft was taking place in nashville so genuinely some people just thought it was related to that or were like "why would taylor cause this ruckus when the NFL draft is in the city"
but that didn't stop most people. I think even the news started broadcasting and the tagline was like "FANS LINE UP OUTSIDE MURAL, THINK TAYLOR SWIFT IS GONNA SHOW UP" like we were on the news maybe looking like fools. it wasn't the first time but wow
even i remember being like?? ok sure it's for her but who says she's gonna be there???
so we're just waiting, monitoring the situation, i think some were livestreaming. and then the bombshell drops. taylor swift posts a video of her in the car. on the way to the mural.
and then next thing we know. she's there. she's there talking with fans, taking photos. there's the words "ME!" on the mural. and taylor is congratulating on our FBI work lmao but also the kicker is - WE STILL DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THIS WAS ABOUT!!! WE HAD UNTIL THAT NIGHT. WE HAD TO WATCH THE NFL DRAFT TO FIND OUT ABOUT THE SINGLE "ME!"
anyways theres the butterfly mural story and how swifties are the greatest detectives even when we're not

Submission (Re: People hating on him):
Anon, not being rude or anything, but wanted to give you an honest opinion and hopefully good response.
If someone’s first assumption about this whole thing is that people who are calling it PR are “hating”, then they are in the target group that this stunt is being catered towards. Especially when you look at Travis’ dating history, because oh look! that search shot up right after Taylor attended the game. lol
No one is hating on Travis. People who are and aren’t Taylor OR Travis fans are just calling out the blatant transparency of it. A host from The View called it a PR stunt. A popular sports host has called this a PR stunt.
People Magazine even said she “heard about the invitation”. So….she heard about this friendship bracelet story….shortly after learning about the invitation? Now, who do we think gave her the heads up about the invitation? Because didn’t she say during her Nashville show that she doesn’t Google herself but Scott told her about the bench named after her in Centennial Park? She was more than likely out of the loop about it until someone brought it to her attention. Because she doesn’t Google herself.
For example:
Patrick Mahomes said Sunday he hoped to meet her. Then he later said he’d met her before at the NFL Draft when it was in Nashville, which is true because that’s when she wore that rainbow colored dress/robe during Lover era.
However, it was also said that Travis/Taylor had gone on TWO double dates with Patrick and his wife…before she attended the game Sunday. So if he met her in passing at the draft, a double date means he had time for a conversation with her, right? But today he said he met her at the private dinner. lol
Travis was with his ex girlfriend, Kayla, for 5 years. Never blatantly made it a point to talk about her publicly even though people knew they were together and attended events together. Now all of a sudden, he’s openly talking about his personal life? On his own podcast and on Pat McAfee’s show? Taylor suddenly owns a Chiefs jacket when she’s only ever referenced the Eagles? She doesn’t even reference the Tennessee Titans. Lol
The cheat sheet incident? Who else in that suite would’ve needed such detailed notes (especially on what to wear to a football game? Unless you’re trying to figure out what to wear to not make it look too obvious). Assuming the people who are usually in his suite are friends and family…who have been to many of his games before (and would know things about the team and fanbase traditions)? His publicist was right behind her and made it a point to hop in Deuxmoi’s comments and say the cheat sheet wasn’t Taylor’s and that she was his publicist. Why? Because she’s paying attention to the demand for her client on a popular gossip blog.
Travis’ jersey sales suddenly going up 400%? When he’s a two-time Super Bowl winner? Heinz making a custom label (“seemingly ranch”) for a product (Kranch) that they’ve had on the market since 2019?
The NFL seeing a boost in ratings off this game against the now 0-3 Bears, a game the Chiefs SHOULD have won? When the Miami Dolphins dropped 70 points in their game?
The man JUST signed with CAA. He wants to expand his brand because he is about to be “old” in NFL terms. CAA is a talent agency. We all know that when celebrities sign with agencies, they are expected to open up about their private lives somewhat because that’s what the audience they are aiming to reach is interested in.
Adele dates (and may be married) to Rich Paul, who is LeBron James’ longtime agent. How often do you hear them speak about each other? How often do you hear LeBron James speak about Adele?
Last. Look at the picture on TMZ from their PRIVATE dinner. The picture wasn’t a sneak picture. Look at the positioning. Look how clear it is. Look how close it is. Taylor, who is talking to someone, would have seen the person taking the photo. There’s another couple in the background facing that direction who would have seen the picture being taken. Their body language is saying “act natural”.
She is allegedly attending the next Chiefs game on Sunday Night Football (which is a prime time game, btw) against….the Jets who are the home team. Watch how the things getting called out this week—- are “cleaned up” for that game and after.

thoughts on bosa’s maga moment ?
oh im pissed
i aint suprised because ive known that nick is deeply in love with donald trump for years now, not to mention this lovely tweet:
he took it down after a very halfassed apology when the niners drafted him in 2019
i think what im mad about is the fact that none of this is surprising. that a ft. lauderdale raised white boy is a MAGA stan is not surprising. that he's too cowardly to defend his own decision to interrupt his teammates' moment is not surprising. that both the team and the nfl have done jack about it despite it literally violating league rules about political statements made in uniform is not surprising. of course nick is going to face zero consequences, from either the league officers or our own front office
contrasting that to the absolute villainization kaep received - not just from fox news watchers!! people here in the bay flamed him for kneeling. and the fact that he was so intentional about it, consulting a goddamn green beret veteran on how to respectfully protest against injustice while still honoring the flag. and the fact that his cause was in fact NOT political, but a plea for people to give a fuck about the countless black lives lost to unchecked police violence. and the fact that he stood by his decision, repeated his protest multiple times, stood firm in his conviction despite being raked over the coals by both national and local media.
and HE'S the one that's hated.
complete bullshit.
#it's the cowardice that really gets me the most i think#brave enough to whip out a hat supporting a racist on national tv#but when questioned by local reporters who HAVE to remain on good terms with the org in order to keep their jobs he folds like a lawn chair#absolutely pathetic behavior#nick bosa#49ers#nfl#expecting both the team and the league to stay silent cuz this is the nfl and they do not give a fuck about you or me or the right thing#anon#asks

since the important part of you (my mutuals) asked, here's rose oc wank: nfl edition
this is gonna get a lil unrealistic and of course if you (for some fuckn reason) have a problem with ocs for a real life sports league then GET OUUUTTTTT
n e ways
so i already spoilered some of the things this peculiar group of Sad Wet Men have to offer but i wanna start with the running back or as i (the name generator i ran through 437 times.) called him, duane cameron. he's a rb who got drafted in 2011 in the 2nd round bc i just can't let go of my senior citizens (terms and conditions apply i KNOW 34 isn't old) to the panthers. i don't know if they were actually in need of a rb at that time but fuck it they have one now and he's gorjus.
he's known cam (1st ovr pick yannooooo) since high school (after moving away from canada...but that's a whole thing i don't even wanna get into that) and when they got drafted to the same team cam was more enthralled by it than duane but hey he'll have to live w that now. no eli manning shenanigans you are STAYING THERE
n e ways he played for the panthers for a couple seasons and he was always in the top 10 rb conversations (from 2012 onwards bc the only thing people remember him for in 2011 is getting batista bombed by jj watt). he won opoy in 2014 for the first time and repeated in 2015. yk what also happened in 2015.
bc i am chronically living in the past and i'll never stand for the injustice that was dealt on that particular day in 2016, of course my 6'7 babygirl (don't question the dimensions. just Don't.) was the missing piece to the panthers super bowl and they do win that shit fuck you and your big ass forehead peyton. duane also wins sbmvp bc of his outlandish 377 yard performance (I FUCKING WARNED YOU) but you could expect that
n e ways after an easy repeat in 2016 (julio i wanted you to have this so bad but...the Narrative) and some drama in 2017 (mainly due to cam making the bail for no fucken reason) my boy finally hung up the boots in carolina and signed with the ravens because i am a biased little fangirlie and i want my team to have everything. he won the chip in 2019 w the murder birds and maybe sorta somewhat did it again in 2022 but shhhh
n e ways this was a LOT for just one guy and trust me he's the only one with that much history. movin tf on
so in my last post i did mention a 2nd oc who's a social experiment. well his name is ansis knight (that was NOT my idea btw i asked my brother to give me a name for a cornerback and this is what he came up with) and he's a social experiment in the sense that he's literally german. like his dad is american and everything but the dude grew up in Heidelberg, schönste Stadt im Land.
as i said he's a cb & plays for the eagles as of right now and he's very. idk. he's a dumbass and he does things he shouldn't do a lot of the time but Never On The Field. on the field he's the most annoying little bastard (especially for qbs bc for SOME FUCKING REASON he's everything everywhere all at once and they can't escape him) and wrs have a burning hatred for him (so do i). but off the field he's just this very Peculiar Personality and nobody knows what his deal is except amon-ra bc out of all the wrs he bothers every week amon-ra gets the most of it. you can imagine how he reacted when he saw his week 1 matchup last season
not a lot of history on him bc he's still fairly new but i'll just say he's my weirdest saddest wettest football guy and i love him very a lot
AND NOW. FOR THAT MOTHERFUCKER THAT WAS PART OF THE FUCKING NBA OC POST (which is so outdated by now you don't even know)
cole grAnt.
i'll take away first that he's shrunk a bit (6'10 is ENOUGH, jfc) and he's an edge rusher now which means he's the biggest menace to society the world has ever seen. he was drafted by the colts in the 6th round after a solid college season (UNDERDOG STORY RAAAAHHHHH) but they traded his ass to baltimore (eheh. hey) after an...interesting 2021 season. let me explain por favor
basically, he was tackled pretty fucking hard at one point (however hard you can hit a 6'10 dude who's built like a fucking wardrobe) and hit the ground awkwardly. @ the beginning he thought it was just a concussion and bc it was right ahead of bye week, he came back the next game. in THAT game tho he collapsed on the field and when they did a scan on his ass they found that a blood vessel exploded in his brain which caused intracranial hematoma (inner bleeding in the brain for all you non googlers). my man basically died for a second and he didn't play another game afterwards, but in 2022 he came back w a vengeance and he made joe burrow's life HELL in week 5 (and the wildcard game)
i don't know why i went THAT hard on cole's injury i just thought that i was coddling these men too hard and needed one of them to SUFFER. i mean duane already did for the duration of the 2018 season but i needed PHYSICAL SUFFERING i needed there to be BLOOD.
anyways that would be all i hope you understand at least some of it goodnight goodbye
@heyitswolfman pls accept my humble offering + apology i had some bs to deal w today so this comes late <3<3 sawry
#if this doesn't get any notes i'm deleting it next morning#you have till 7 am#now you're all familiar with my disaster children. thank u for ur attention#nfl#oc philosophies

Aaron Jones: The Heart and Soul of the Green Bay Packers' Backfield
Aaron Jones, born on December 2, 1994, in Savannah, Georgia, is one of the premier running backs in the National Football League (NFL). Since joining the Green Bay Packers in 2017, Jones has emerged as a dynamic, multi-faceted threat in both the running and passing games. With his explosive speed, agility, and relentless work ethic, Jones has become a key figure in the Packers’ offense, consistently providing production and versatility.
Early Life and College Career
Aaron Jones grew up in a military family, with his parents both serving in the U.S. Army. Along with his twin brother, Alvin Jones, he developed a strong sense of discipline and responsibility from a young age. The family eventually settled in El Paso, Texas, where Jones attended Burges High School. There, he quickly established himself as a standout athlete, excelling in both football and track. After high school, Jones attended the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), where he played for the UTEP Miners football team. Over four seasons (2013-2016), Jones showcased his immense talent and ability to make plays. He rushed for 4,114 yards, becoming UTEP’s all-time leading rusher. His standout senior season in 2016 saw him accumulate 1,773 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns, earning him first-team All-Conference USA honors.
NFL Draft and Entry into the Green Bay Packers
Despite his stellar college career, Aaron Jones was considered somewhat of a sleeper prospect in the 2017 NFL Draft. Due to his smaller stature (5’9”, 208 lbs) and the deep class of running backs that year, Jones was selected by the Green Bay Packers in the fifth round with the 182nd overall pick. However, Jones quickly dispelled any concerns about his ability to perform at the professional level.
Breakout Performance with the Packers
Jones entered the Packers' system during a transitional period, with the team looking for a consistent presence in the backfield. He showed flashes of brilliance in his rookie season, despite being part of a running back committee, finishing the year with 448 rushing yards and 4 touchdowns. His explosive runs and ability to make defenders miss caught the attention of fans and coaches alike. By his second year in 2018, Jones began to establish himself as the team’s primary running back, averaging an impressive 5.5 yards per carry. Unfortunately, his season was cut short by injury, but he had shown enough potential to be considered the future of the Packers’ backfield. 2019: A Breakthrough Season The 2019 season marked Aaron Jones’ true breakout campaign. Under new head coach Matt LaFleur, the Packers implemented a more balanced offense, giving Jones the opportunity to shine both as a runner and a receiver. He finished the season with 1,084 rushing yards, 16 rushing touchdowns, and 474 receiving yards with 3 receiving touchdowns, making him one of the most productive running backs in the league. Jones’ 16 rushing touchdowns tied for the NFL lead, and he became just the third player in Packers history to score at least 20 total touchdowns in a season. His performance was instrumental in leading the Packers to a 13-3 record and an appearance in the NFC Championship Game.
2020 Season: Continued Success and Pro Bowl Recognition
Jones followed up his breakout 2019 season with another stellar year in 2020, proving that his success was no fluke. He rushed for 1,104 yards and 9 touchdowns, while also contributing 355 receiving yards and 2 receiving touchdowns. His ability to impact both phases of the offense made him a key asset for quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the Packers’ high-powered offense. Jones was named to his first Pro Bowl following the 2020 season, solidifying his status as one of the top running backs in the NFL. His consistent production, coupled with his leadership on and off the field, made him a fan favorite in Green Bay.
Style of Play: Versatility and Explosiveness
One of Aaron Jones’ greatest strengths is his versatility. He is not only an exceptional runner but also a dangerous receiver out of the backfield. His ability to line up in various formations, catch passes, and make plays in space makes him a nightmare for opposing defenses. Jones possesses elite vision, allowing him to find gaps in the defense and hit the open field with explosive speed. Additionally, his compact frame and low center of gravity make him difficult to tackle. He excels at breaking arm tackles and has a knack for evading defenders in the open field. Despite not being the biggest running back, Jones is known for his toughness, often fighting for extra yards and making crucial plays in short-yardage situations. Jones’ ability to contribute in the passing game adds another dimension to the Packers’ offense. His receiving skills allow the Packers to be creative, often lining him up as a slot receiver or running screen plays to capitalize on his speed. His contributions as both a runner and receiver make him one of the most complete backs in the league.
Leadership and Impact Off the Field
Beyond his performance on the field, Aaron Jones is widely respected for his character and leadership. He has been an influential presence in the Packers' locker room, often serving as a role model for younger players. His work ethic and positive attitude have earned him the respect of teammates, coaches, and fans alike. In 2021, Aaron Jones’ father, Alvin Jones Sr., passed away due to complications from COVID-19. His father was a huge part of his life and career, attending nearly every game and serving as one of his biggest supporters. Aaron’s tribute to his father, including wearing a football necklace with his father’s ashes inside, touched the hearts of many fans and highlighted his emotional connection to his family and football. Jones is also active in the community, regularly participating in charitable endeavors. He co-founded the A&A All the Way Foundation with his twin brother Alvin, which aims to positively impact the lives of children, military families, and youth sports organizations. Jones’ commitment to giving back has made him a beloved figure both in Green Bay and beyond.
Contract Extension and Commitment to the Packers
In March 2021, Aaron Jones signed a four-year, $48 million contract extension with the Packers, securing his future with the team. The deal reflected the Packers’ belief in Jones as a cornerstone of their offense for years to come. His combination of production, leadership, and consistency made him an invaluable asset, and the extension was a clear signal that Green Bay was committed to keeping him in the fold. 2021-2023: Maintaining Excellence and Team Leadership Aaron Jones continued to perform at a high level during the 2021 and 2022 seasons. Despite splitting carries with fellow running back AJ Dillon, Jones remained a focal point of the Packers’ offense. His ability to make big plays in crucial moments, particularly in the passing game, kept him among the top running backs in the league. During the 2022 season, Jones surpassed the 1,000-yard rushing mark for the third time in his career, finishing the year with 1,121 rushing yards and 7 total touchdowns. His reliability in the backfield provided stability for the Packers’ offense, especially as the team dealt with changes, including the departure of key wide receivers and the eventual transition away from the Aaron Rodgers era.
Legacy and Future Outlook
As of 2023, Aaron Jones continues to be a central figure in the Packers’ offense. His versatility, leadership, and consistent production make him one of the most respected running backs in the NFL. While he has already accomplished a great deal in his career, Jones shows no signs of slowing down and remains focused on helping the Packers compete for championships. Beyond the individual accolades and statistical milestones, Jones’ greatest impact may be the way he has embodied the spirit of perseverance, humility, and hard work. Whether he is breaking off a long touchdown run, making a key reception, or giving back to his community, Aaron Jones has become the heart and soul of the Packers and a player who represents the best of what the NFL has to offer.
Conclusion
Aaron Jones is more than just a running back for the Green Bay Packers; he is a versatile playmaker, a leader, and a role model both on and off the field. From his humble beginnings in El Paso to becoming one of the NFL’s premier running backs, Jones’ journey is a testament to his dedication, resilience, and love for the game. As he continues to thrive in Green Bay, Jones is cementing his legacy as one of the greats in Packers history and a beloved figure in the world of football. Read the full article

Miami (OH): 2024 Arizona Bowl Champions
TUCSON, Ariz. -- — Kevin Davis had a career-high 148 yards rushing and two touchdowns on just nine carries Saturday and Jordan Brunson also ran for two TDs to help Miami (Ohio) beat Colorado State 43-17 at the Arizona Bowl.
Davis scored on a 4-yard run with 12:35 left in the third quarter, Matt Salopek forced a fumble that was recovered by Silas Walters and quarterback Brett Gabbert's first rushing touchdown of the season — a 10-yard scramble that capped a 47-yard drive — made it 22-3 about 2 minutes later.
After the Rams failed to convert a fourth-and-4 from the 5, Davis took a hand off up the middle and raced untouched for a 97-yard touchdown to give the RedHawks a 26-point lead with 6:45 remaining in the third quarter. George Swarn's 98-yard TD against Western Michigan in 1984 is the longest run in RedHawks history.
Miami (9-5) is 9-7 all-time in bowl games.
Colorado State (8-5) committed four turnovers which the RedHawks converted into 19 points.
Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi threw a 56-yard touchdown pass to Stephon Bailey and Peter Montini scored on a 1-yard run for the Rams.
Dom Dzioban made field goals of 34, 26 and 24 yards and the RedHawks led 9-3 lead at halftime. Dzioban's 26 made field goals are tied with Sam Sloman (2019) — a seventh-round pick by the Los Angeles Rams in the 2019 NFL draft — for second most on the program's single-season list. Graham Nicholson made 27 of 28 last season and won the Lou Groza Award, given to the nation's top kicker.
The Rams made their first bowl appearance since 2017, when they lost 31-28 to Marshall at the New Mexico Bowl.

The Rise of Lamar Jackson
From Humble Beginnings to NFL Stardom
Born and raised in Pompano Beach, Florida, Lamar Jackson grew up in a football-loving community. His athleticism was evident early on, and he quickly became a standout player in high school.

Redefining the Quarterback Position

Breaking Michael Vick’s Rushing Record – In 2019, Jackson shattered the record for most rushing yards in a single season by a quarterback.
2019 MVP Season – With over 3,000 passing yards and 1,200 rushing yards, he became the unanimous NFL MVP.
Fourth-and-Long Heroics – Jackson thrives under pressure, converting impossible plays into unforgettable victories.
The Criticism and How He Handles It
No superstar escapes criticism, and Jackson is no exception. Some pundits have labeled him as “just a runner,” questioning his longevity in the league. But Lamar doesn’t let the noise get to him. Instead, he silences critics with every game.
Staying Focused
Jackson’s work ethic is legendary. While others talk, he works. From grueling training sessions to film study, his dedication to improvement is unwavering.

It’s not just his on-field exploits that make Jackson a fan favorite. Off the field, he’s known for his humility and connection with fans. Whether signing autographs or engaging with his followers on social media, Lamar exudes authenticity.
Lamar Jackson’s Impact on the Ravens
The Baltimore Ravens aren’t just a team—they’re a powerhouse with Jackson leading the charge. Since his arrival, the team has built its offense around his unique skill set. This synergy has resulted in record-breaking seasons and playoff appearances.
