The Baltimore Ravens will hope to win the third Super Bowl championship in their franchise history during the 2021 season. It’s been a goal that has made its way into many press conferences and interviews with both players and coaches, so it’s been on the minds of many within the organization.
When asked about how far along he is in regards to having a legacy quarterback Lamar Jackson said he didn’t know, but did touch on the fact that he wants to win a Super Bowl for a multitude of reasons.
“Man, I don’t know how close I am to my legacy; I don’t know how far I am. Like I said, I’m always going to stress this until I get it – until I get one. I’m trying to win a Super Bowl. MVPs and stuff like that, having winning records and stuff, that’s cool, but I want to bring a Lombardi [Trophy] here myself. Everybody else got one. The quarterback before me had one – Joe [Flacco]. He did a great job with the team. He won one. So, I want to come in and win one, so I can feel accomplished and be like, ‘OK, we did that! I won one. My teammates, we stepped it up. We did what we were supposed to do.’ Then I can sit back when I have grandkids and stuff and be like, ‘Yes, we did that,’ and talk my trash like old heads do – talk my trash to the young generation [about] what we did. So, that’s what I’m trying to do – win a Super Bowl. Then my legacy … then we can talk about legacy.”
If Jackson is able to will Baltimore to a Super Bowl victory in his fourth year, his already impressive resume will be unassailable. He still has a long way to go in his NFL career, but when it’s all said and done, the quarterback could have a legacy for the ages.
