Ravens star quarterback Lamar Jackson has been hitting the weight room hard this offseason.
A senior Lamar appeared on the NFL Network over the weekend and explained his mindset during the offseason trade.
It was very important. I just wanted to put a little more weight on me, because I was a little small, you know, early in my career. I just wanted to put weight on and see how it felt. And I feel good. … I was like 205-208, now I’m like 230 right now.
The NFL world reacted to Lamar’s added weight on social media.
“Lamar is incredibly nice and is doing things to get better,” said one Ravens fan. “Stop hating.”
“I can see LaFullback’s jokes,” laughed another.
“Lamar at 230 is even scarier,” shouted another user. “You put on 20 pounds of durability.”
A stronger Lamar figure is an even scarier sight for AFC defenses.
