Ravens CB Marlon Humphrey Shares Lamar Jackson Anecdote That Will Warm Your Heart
By Karl Rasmussen
The Baltimore Ravens are one of the best teams in football right now, and they're also one of the most close knit.
The Ravens' team chemistry is among the best in the league, and that's no happy accident. According to Marlon Humphrey, one individual is the glue that holds this team together. And naturally, that's second-year sensation Lamar Jackson.
Humphrey revealed just how far Jackson is willing to go to keep everyone content in Baltimore. This week, LJ went to the training room to greet and shake hands with rehabbing players and trainers, in order to keep their spirits high.

While this may seem like a small deed, it just goes to show how Jackson cares immensely for each individual in the locker room. While that may not show up on the stat sheet, implementing that type level of camaraderie goes a long way.
Jackson has emerged as a potential MVP candidate, and while he looks like a generational talent, he couldn't do it without the support of his teammates. After a less than stellar rookie season, Jackson has made serious strides in his sophomore campaign, and has won over the locker room while doing so.

Just last week Mark Ingram emphatically declared Jackson the MVP after Baltimore's rout of the Texans, and now even more of his teammates are speaking out on his behalf.
