One of the biggest stories of Ravens training camp, thus far, was John Harbaugh saying he’s had a vision of Lamar Jackson becoming the greatest of all-time.
For what it is worth, when Jackson was asked about these comments, he referenced Tom Brady as the current G.O.A.T.
But Jackson isn’t shying away from the concept of greatness, and neither is his position group coach, Tee Martin.
“When you see something in young people, you tell them,” Martin said.
“When you see greatness, you tell them. You own it.
“You want them to believe it, you want them to believe in themselves, you want them to know that you believe in them and that’s what we’re working for.”
Just before making these comments, Martin mentioned the fact that he has four kids, and it’s very fitting because his message is a great one for kids.
Some of the best parents are those who tell their children that they believe in them.
Martin added: “We don’t shy away from it, from those expectations, because if you’re not trying to be the best, then what are you trying to be?”
He went on to say that once a week the assistant coach and the QB room talk about championship quarterbacks.
“We talk about the characteristics of them and we talk about what is important that week, going into that game, and every week there is an element of it, about him (Jackson) being the greatest, about him showing up and showing out as we like to say in the quarterback room.”
Martin added that he saw greatness in Jackson long before he became his position coach.
“I see that in him, I truly believe that as his coach, and before that as a fan of his.”
