Lamar Jackson Shares His Reason for Offseason Weight Loss – BaltimoreRavens.com

Asked if he does now feel more agile, Jackson responded with a "heck yeah."

"I feel great," Jackson said. "It's been so long [since feeling this agile]. We had COVID that happened to us; it slowed us down a little. But I feel great now. I feel great."

Jackson took off on one long run during Wednesday's practice, but it's hard to gauge whether, or how much, quicker he is compared to previous seasons. His teammates say he looks fast to them, but he's always looked fast.

If he stays at 205 pounds, Jackson would be lighter than almost every starting quarterback in recent decades, and none that played that low ran as much as Jackson. But Jackson has never fretted about his durability.

"We sacrifice our body each and every game [and] practices," he said. "I believe it really doesn't matter about the weight."

Ravens Strength & Conditioning Coordinator Scott Elliott said at the start of the offseason program that the Ravens intend to "add lean muscle" on top of his frame, but that Jackson is in "great shape."

Head Coach John Harbaugh echoed those sentiments Wednesday, saying the Ravens don't have a target weight for Jackson.

"I mean, it's fine. I think that's Lamar. He's a pro. He knows what he's doing. He knows where he wants to be with that," Harbaugh said. "My concern is that he's in shape, best shape of his life, and he's working toward that. He's ready football-wise, all the details that go with that mentally, physically, spiritually ready to go. That's kind of what I think about. I know he talks to the strength and conditioning people. He's got his own people. He talks to [director of sports nutrition] Sarah [Snyder] all the time. He's a pro. He knows what he's doing."
