Pittsburgh Steelers QB Lamar Jackson accepted a deal of $84.4 million to depart from…

The Baltimore Ravens finished with the best record in the NFL last season, but they ended up falling in the AFC Championship Game to the eventual Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs.

This offseason, they made headlines by landing star running back Derrick Henry, who should make their already potent running game even stronger.

Quarterback Lamar Jackson has already been one of the league’s best dual-threat signal-callers, but he has reportedly lost a considerable amount of weight this offseason.

In fact, on Wednesday, the media asked a total of 11 questions about Jackson’s weight drop, per Sarah Ellison.

Jackson is coming off a season in which he won his second regular-season MVP award and threw for 3,678 yards and 24 touchdowns while posting a 67.2 percent completion rate.

He also added 821 yards and five touchdowns on the ground while leading everyone in yards per rushing attempt, which helped Baltimore lead the league in total rushing yards.

It remains to be seen if head coach John Harbaugh will have Jackson gaining yardage with his legs as much this coming season, or if he will want Jackson to focus more on pumping the football downfield.

Wide receiver Zay Flowers is coming off a strong rookie season, while star tight end Mark Andrews is seemingly healthy after the ankle injury that sidelined him late last season.

Still, the Ravens aren’t getting a ton of respect right now — according to BetMGM, they only have the third-highest odds to win this coming season’s Super Bowl title.
