Ravens' Harbaugh impressed by Jackson's accuracy at rookie camp
It's early in Baltimore Ravens rookie camp, but quarterback Lamar Jackson is apparently already dispelling one of the main critiques of him that was circulating ahead of the 2018 draft.
"The thing I was really impressed with is I thought he was accurate," Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said, according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN. "You read the reports ... but he's a naturally talented thrower. He has natural arm talent. That's something that I think people were questioning. To see him out here throwing the ball naturally and very accurately, I thought it was a big plus."
Jackson completed 60.4 percent of his pass attempts in his final season at Louisville.
However, teams had reportedly been asking Jackson to work out as a wide receiver in the build-up to the draft, and he declined to run the 40-yard dash at the scouting combine and at Louisville's pro day.
Baltimore then selected Jackson with the final pick of the first round.
