Lamar Jackson is fully embracing the new era of Ravens football.<\/p>\n

The two-time MVP reported Monday to the opening of Baltimore\u2019s first voluntary offseason workout under new coach Jesse Minter.<\/p>\n

Minter took over for current Giants coach John Harbaugh, who was fired by the Ravens after 18 seasons and a Super Bowl win as the only NFL coach Jackson has ever known.<\/p>\n

Baltimore made a big deal over Jackson\u2019s arrival, posting videos of him arriving at the facility and participating in drills and workouts during Phase 1 of the offseason program.<\/p>\n

Minter was uncertain of Jackson\u2019s status for the start of workouts, last week at the NFL meetings in Phoenix.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know Lamar\u2019s excited. I think he is excited about some of the changes,\u201d Minter told reporters at the NFL league meeting. \u201cWe\u2019ve had a lot of good connection points, but the offseason program is voluntary. We\u2019re excited to get a chance to work with all the guys, whoever wants to show up. We feel confident that a lot of guys will be there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jackson, 29, hasn\u2019t been a regular at voluntary during his eight-year career. He even sat out eight of nine practices before the opening of mandatory minicamp last season.<\/p>\n

The Ravens are coming off one of their most disappointing seasons in recent years, going just 8-9 with Jackson 6-7 at the starter after he missed four games because of injury. Baltimore missed the playoffs by one game, losing to the rival Steelers 26-24 in their season finale.<\/p>\n

Jackson still threw for 2,549 yards with 21 touchdowns and seven interceptions while completing 63.6 percent of his passes.<\/p>\n

His apparent buy-in will be a key early for Minter, who is coming over after being the Chargers defensive coordinator the past two seasons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An image collage containing 3 images, Image 1 shows Lamar Jackson #8 of the Baltimore Ravens reacts on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":858421,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2052],"tags":[184,117,2282,241,7,253,10097,895,6,169,426],"class_list":{"0":"post-858420","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-baltimore-ravens","8":"tag-baltimore","9":"tag-baltimore-ravens","10":"tag-baltimoreravens","11":"tag-chargers","12":"tag-football","13":"tag-houston-texans","14":"tag-jesse-minter","15":"tag-lamar-jackson","16":"tag-nfl","17":"tag-ravens","18":"tag-steelers"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116362222582601965","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/858420","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=858420"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/858420\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/858421"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=858420"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=858420"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=858420"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
