ESPN NFL reports that -- During the second week of the Baltimore Ravens' organized team activities, one of the rookies asked quarterback Lamar Jackson if this is really his ninth NFL season.
"Yes, but I'm not an 'Unc' yet though," Jackson replied with a chuckle.
"I just turned 29 in January." For Jackson, he hasn't given much thought about growing older.
The 10th-oldest quarterback projected to start this season, Jackson is more focused on moving past one of the most frustrating times of his career and beginning a new era.
He's laughing out on the practice field while learning a different system under first-year playcaller Declan Doyle.
He's familiarizing himself with the newcomers at the skill positions and joking with the rookie draft picks at wide receiver (Jacobi Lane and Elijah Sarratt) and tight end (Matthew Hibner and Josh Cuevas).
