Surprising Move:  Baltimore Ravens key player Lamar Jackson announces his  leaving due to his…..

After winning the NFL MVP award last season as one of the league’s top quarterbacks, Lamar Jackson likely didn’t need to make any changes. However, the Baltimore Ravens star has chosen to shed a significant amount of weight, leading some fans to wonder if he’s made a mistake.

Jackson is one of the most formidable players in his division, known for his skill in the pocket and impressive rushing stats.

As a dual-threat quarterback, he has made the Ravens a formidable team, with only a narrow loss to the Kansas City Chiefs preventing them from showcasing their Super Bowl potential.

Perhaps recognizing that he wasn’t at his peak fitness level, Jackson decided to lose a substantial amount of weight—around 20 pounds—to become leaner for the 2024 season.

His offseason efforts have clearly paid off, as a fan photo demonstrates the significant difference from his more muscular frame in the 2022 offseason.

Nevertheless, some fans worry that Jackson’s decision to slim down might backfire, especially considering the physicality of the AFC North.

One fan commented, “I don’t know if getting smaller is the right move for the NFL’s skinniest QB.”

Another questioned, “Why would Lamar think this was a good decision?”

After returning for organized team activities (OTAs), Jackson expressed that he feels better than ever after slimming down to just over 200 pounds.

The 27-year-old hinted that his reason for losing weight is his desire to be faster with the ball.
