Baltimore Ravens General Manager Eric DeCosta has noted a marked increase in urgency and leadership from quarterback Lamar Jackson as the team approaches the 2024 NFL season. Jackson, the reigning MVP, has lost weight and appears sharper in training camp, demonstrating a stronger engagement with teammates and coaches. DeCosta emphasized Jackson's focus on winning, describing him as hyper-focused on achieving a Super Bowl victory. The quarterback himself acknowledges the need for heightened accountability within the team, particularly as he enters his seventh season. With the Ravens set to face the Kansas City Chiefs in their season opener, Jackson aims to shift the narrative around his playoff performance, having only won two playoff games thus far. Overall, both DeCosta and Jackson express a strong commitment to improving and achieving postseason success this year.
