[Baltimore Sun] MVP Lamar Jackson puts Baltimore on the map | READER COMMENTARY
Read Time:1 Minute, 4 Second
It’s impossible to overstate what Lamar Jackson means to the city of Baltimore (“Lamar Jackson perfect, Ravens’ offense keeps rolling in 41-10 win over Broncos,” Nov. 3). He’s an incredibly gifted athlete, but as a leader he also extolls the value of his teammates and gets the most out of them.
Baltimore can boast the best crab cakes in the world and the finest urban aquarium in the country. However, our baseball team struggles to get out of the first playoff round, we’re vying to create a second tier convention center and the mass transit system is struggling to meet the vision of its leaders.
Meanwhile, every weekend brings the possibility that our football team, the Baltimore Ravens, will deliver the best performance in the country. That was certainly the case this past Sunday.
Is this a lot to ask of a quarterback that merely tosses a pigskin 20 times a year? Of course, it is. But what other leader has been able to inspire and unite the entire metropolitan area? Let’s see if he’s “MV3” and ready to win his third NFL Most Valuable Player award.
