Ravens QB Lamar Jackson Looks Like He Beefed up in the Offseason
By Jerry Trotta
The widely regarded flaw on former Louisville superstar Lamar Jackson upon entering the NFL, along with his erratic accuracy, was that his slight frame and height wouldn't translate to the professional level.
Despite not bulking up much prior to his first season in Baltimore, the Ravens signal caller enjoyed an impressive rookie season in the league, breaking records with his legs and leading the team to a surprising playoff appearance.
However, a recent Instagram posted by the NFL's official account suggests that Lamar hit the weight room in a BIG way this offseason, and could possibly hint that he might not be as heavily dependent on his legs in 2019.
Woah. Who are you and what have you done with the skinny Lamar? Jackson looks absolutely YOLKED here, folks.
The former Louisville superstar looks as if he's in the best (football) shape of his life. That's both terrific news for the Ravens and a terrifying reality for opposing NFL defenses.
Jackson's arms from Wednesday's Insta compared to the following 2018 gif are literally night and day.
If that wasn't enough, check out the next photo of Lamar's frail biceps from last season.
The 22-year-old put up nearly 2,000 total yards with 11 touchdowns and just three interceptions in seven starts as a rookie. Who knows what kind of numbers a now-jacked Lamar can put up in a full 16-game season.
It truly is a scary thought.
