“All this to just lose in the playoffs” “Old man still got it”: NFL fans split over Lamar Jackson being “locked in” at Ravens OTAs


Lamar Jackson reported to the Baltimore Ravens facility for the offseason workout program on Monday. The superstar quarterback was in attendance for new coach Jesse Minter’s first session.

The Ravens posted a video of Jackson arriving at the facility in the morning, along with a video of him locked in and working out with teammates. NFL fans took to X to react to the clip.

Another added, “Overrated Bum. I’m ngl but Brock Purdy is better than your sorry a**”

One chipped in, saying, “Oh shoot. He’s getting ready to have another losing year lol. Bum.”

Some were more positive.

One said, “Old man still got it.”

Another added, “This has to be the year🏆”

One chipped in, saying, “Lamar’s back and he’s looking to be in the best game shape and speed he’s ever been. Lamar is locked in.”

Jackson’s attendance at the start of OTAs comes as a pleasant surprise. That’s because last week, Minter said at the NFL’s annual meeting in Phoenix that he was unsure what Jackson’s level of participation in the program would be.

It’s important to note that attendance for the program is voluntary. Monday’s program is the start of the offseason workouts. There’s set to be two weeks’ worth of meetings, strength and conditioning, and physical rehabilitation.

Lamar Jackson is aiming for a bounce-back season

Lamar Jackson is locked in heading into his ninth season in the NFL. He’s fresh off a season that saw him and the Ravens miss out on the playoffs.

Jackson dealt with an array of injuries in the 2025 campaign, which limited him to 13 starts. He amassed a stat line of 2,549 passing yards, 21 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. He also recorded a career low of 349 rushing yards and a joint low of two rushing TDs.

Jackson remains one of the most popular quarterbacks in the NFL, and he’s just two seasons removed from his second MVP award. He’s now looking to lead the Ravens back to the playoffs and compete for their first Super Bowl since 2013.

However, Lamar Jackson will need to do so without long-time coach John Harbaugh. Harbaugh and the Ravens parted ways in the offseason, and Jesse Minter has stepped in as his replacement. It’s a new era in Baltimore heading into the 2026 campaign.
