Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson's career growth is fueled by self-criticism | FNIA | NFL on NBC
/ nflonnbc
She showed him a play from high-school and ask him about it. The first thing he brings up is his teammate making a good play in the background...like if you hate him its something inside yourself you hate
love lamar
His mom raised him well. I’ve never heard of a teammate, coach, or team employee say he’s anything but a great person that is ready to outwork everyone. Also isn’t getting into trouble being a young rich man.
Hey stupid just because u critique someone’s play doesn’t mean u hate on him!! These fanboys take this kids game to another level. Lol
Fr tho I say the same thing to all the LJ8 haters
Bro, it’s a fake facade and his attempt of being humble. Look at Brady for years saying the same type of shit. Then when he got older he started saying how he REALLY felt. Speak honestly. Not in some way that you feel you have to.
Dudes so humble and he’s actually the best dual threat QB to ever touch a ball…
Vick was better my boy
Check the stats 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
Aint got too bc i watched them both play in there prime
Well Lamar is 25 dudes just now entering his prime
@@parkerguess3157 its not worth the argument with him parker, Vick knows lamar jackson is already better.
How do you not love that man Lamar Jackson. Great interview Ms Taylor
You know why they don't lol
@@volcanicmax007 👴🏻 “stay in the pocket or else you’re a running back!”
@@TheRealAbraxasAnd you. Are Racist Hater..YT.
The humblest, most authentic, and perhaps the most talented NFL star in the NFL right now. He is cut from a different cloth altogether. Nobody's like him. With so much intense scrutiny and doubt others would have wilted or let success get to their heads, but this young man is so unique. He is able to see through and past all the praise, glory and criticism too. I wish he continues to entertain us with his otherworldly skills for years to come. Just so blessed to see him play right now.
MAN BETTER DTOP HOTTING ON MY WIFE
Easily the most talented QB in the league …Just God given ability …I think mahomes is more skilled from his Baseball background and Josh Allen is a close #2 to have that size with that speed and arm strength…
Lamar is the gotdamn truth.
@@bsp5689 No doubt, Lamar is truly a next level elite QB.
@bigwhite21 this comment aged like milk lmaoo. All those qbs that you mentioned are below Lamar right now. Brock whooo?? The same Brock that threw 4 ints against the ravens? lol you’re a clown. I’m just glad he’s still proving you bums wrong every year. He’s not top 5 you say? You’re right, he’s number 1.
I'm a Steelers Fan but Lamar is so Electric I've been watching him since Louisville just luv watching him play.
#GOAT 🐐
Yeah and you know the Steelers will be in the running at the end of the season. At the least it'll be 2 tough games with the Ravens like usual. I know if we lose Lamar, I'll follow him wherever he goes.
Ravens Fan here, plz bring back Big Ben
Respect 🫡 🤝
Mad respect!! Big Ben needs to come back! The rivalry is not the same without him!
@@janarkas252 Nooo. I don't want to revive those stressful games lol!
Maria Taylor is an absolute star as a journalist. She’s able to relate to these athletes like a cousin and it’s just different. Feels like they’re just chopping it up at a family barbecue and then “oh and where does such confidence come from?”
Well being black helps alot
@@cashiemartin9195
That is absolutely true, it helps because there is an absolute genuine social connection she can bring to the table that maybe a white counterpart cannot.
However there are many other black journalists who are similarly great at what they do, but can’t provide this same level of family within the interview structure. Ie a Michael Wilbon, very professional, intelligent, and mentally agile.. but not quite as infectiously personal.
This is something that is very unique to her skill set and abilities. Like I’ve seen others try to bring this element to the table, like a Stephen A Smith, but I haven’t seen a similar interview style as Taylors’ since perhaps Stuart Scott passed away. He also did a great job of bringing that feeling of family to his interviews IMO.
@@Diamondbull you named older black people but younger black journalists just have a better chance connecting with younger athletes
@@cashiemartin9195
Those older “black people” I named weren’t connecting with the athletes of their generation in the same way so your logic is flawed. Stuart Scott did, but not the other guys. They weren’t bad interviewers, but they didn’t deliver the same level of family regardless of era. So while the overall idea that younger is more likely to connect with younger maybe true, that isn’t the comparison point being made.
That was the best Lamar interview I've ever seen and I'm fairly certain I've seen all of them.
Yeah he's the only superstar QB that's not in all the commercials and sponsors etc. He deserves it.
On Jesus Sandler 😂😂#410
@@410_hurt4 Chill 😐
Link me more Lameezy interviewes y'all
You are so Right. He was comfortable. She wasn’t attacking him or trying to insult his intelligence. ❤
Humble King.
Cool as the other side of the pillow 😮😢💜😈
Love your videos dawg
THEGREAT8!!!!!!!!
BEST QB. SO GLAD TO HAVE HIM IN OUR TEAM. SO HUMBLE. GO RAVENS!!!
The Ravens are very fortunate to have Lamar, such an elite QB with otherworldly skill. From a Bengals fan.
With a eagles pic
@@therustynail99 shhh, its a white raven! lol
@@hakeemsd70m likewise ❤
Lamar ALWAYS acknowledges his teammates!!! Very humble! Just remember THE LAST SHALL BE FIRST, YOUR SB RING IS COMING CHAMP!!
🤞that our team brings the Lombardi back to the Bank!!
That's my QB, proud day 1 fan. Great interview. Love seeing him open up. 💜🖤💜🖤
Even as a chief fan I really love lamar everything about him , he is so humble and calm I really hope he achieves everything in this game .
Your guy is not bad ether. Love seeing him play too.
@@jjshbk mahomeboy we are too spoiled honestly dude is super talented and we get to watch him for next 10 plus years
We got Lamar, but you got Mahomes!! That dude is incredible!!!
Bengals fan but also have become a fan of Lamar's over the years. He's his own dude and his own player and fun to watch and listen to.
I'm right there with you!
@Kadariuscain___walkbyfatellc34 Move along then....
Ravens fan here. Agree with with what you said about Lamar. Bengals are legit! Enjoy the game tonight and may the best team win!
@Kadariuscain___walkbyfatellc34 you’re right, but i won’t be like that.
@Kadariuscain___walkbyfatellc34 yo is it really that serious my guy? Only thing op said was that he’s a Lamar fan which is a lot better than them calling him LamaRB like everyone else does. Chill out bro
She should ALWAYS do his interviews! He is so comfortable 💪🏾💜🙌 I love it
Ravens need to keep Lamar a great young man
And extremely talented.
Hes out of there after this year is what the rumor is in Mia
This lady Maria Taylor is gorgeous. Thank you for interviewing one of my favorite QB
What's up baby
interesting to note his mindset " I just believe in myself; I just know I can do it" this mindset can't be taught has to be caught inwardly great interview Maria
I hope our QB1 wins a Super Bowl, with whoever gives him the best chance to do so.
I was smiling the whole time. Love my QB! We gonna get that chip one day soon LJ.
Same here…. Something about him. He’s just a genuine dude and great at what he does.
Agreed! But can you imagine if EDC got Lamar an elite WR?!! That would be amazing!!
@@CambriaPelletier6090 let’s hope so! He definitely needs it now. I hope they do right by him.
This interview was amazing …Lamar usually don’t show his true personality to the media ! I think she made him feel very comfortable. Great Job Ms. Taylor👌🏾
When I read your comment, I was like "Yea, sure"! After seeing this interview, for one thing, You're right, and two...Does he like her? Uh-oh!!❤️❤️❤️
Lamar is the most genuine guy you will ever meet. He is a role model for these kids out here, constantly giving back to the community, and an absolute star on and off the field. Keep doing you Lamar! And ignore these haters!
Very talented but remains a humble “Team” player & leader. Great personality. Love LJ8! That’s my QB! Great interview!
"That's my qb" reminded me of Terrell Owens tearfully talking about former Dallas Cowboy qb Tony Romo. Lol
Lamar is a great human, as well as a great player. Need more people like him in sports.
Amen
Lamar has never really changed his demeanor from his first days in the NFL. Always humble, supremely confident in who he is, never throwing anyone under the bus. Whenever somebody tells him he played a great game he ALWAYS turns the attention to his teammates, and whenever the Ravens lose he takes the blame on his own shoulders. It's no wonder his guys love him so much. There is literally no negative stories from any players about being with Lamar. What the Ravens are up to with this negotiation is hard to understand, but it feels like it's going to blow up in their faces.
They really tried to get him to make a comment about the “he is Houdini” play against the Bengals to fuel the fire for the game this week.. he wasn’t having none of it though😂
Lamar is special. He won the Heisman for a reason - he has over 75% win percentage in the NFL. Won unanimous MVP in 2019…need I go on?
He’s very private online. Doesn’t cuss, and I doubt he even drinks. He is HUMBLE and hardworking.
This man is a role model and a leader. Baltimore is very lucky to have him.
I hope he has a massive chip on his shoulder, because he gets NO credit for the path he walks.
dude he literally called someone a fag on twitter.
I enjoyed that! Been a Lamar Jackson fan since he scored 8 TD’s against FSU. He will definitely be a 1st Ballot HOF! Florida in the building!
He makes the dual threats before him almost redundant except Cam Newton...
Lamar is the real deal!! I am so proud he is on my team I like and seems like a authentic Dude on top of being a great Quarterback!!
She did a great job at making Lamar feeling comfortable! Never really get to see the real Lamar.
What?
Lamar seems like such an awesome person.
I’m a Chiefs fan but it brings tears to my eyes how much I love this man- humble, so much goodness and respect wrapped around so much TALENT. He deserves all the success in the world.
Kudos to Maria Taylor and her interview with Lamar Jackson. Lamar is a great NFL quarterback and is destined to become one of the wealthiest players ever. God bless the NFL's Magic Man -- Lamar Jackson.
Interviewee and Interviewer are both tops in their respective professions. This was a real joy to watch from both perspectives.
i could not love a football player more than i love Lamar Jackson man. it's beautiful really. what an outstanding human being and player. we are soooo blessed in baltimore.
Lamar is so great, and yet SOOO HUMBLE. It’s amazing to hear his attitude towards the game. He talks sparingly about the fact he won the Heisman, MVP’s in both HS and the NFL, but he it doesn’t really even matter because he wants the SHIPS.
PHENOMENAL INTERVIEW‼️
He is so humble and a team player. He practices what he preaches. He gives his teammates kudos for his success. I love it! Even though I'm from Bmore, he is my favorite player because of who he is inside. He strives for the best for him and the Ravens. What wisdom and grace for a youngman. I display my Raven's flag even though we live in Texas. The Best is Yet to Come. God bless you Lamar.
#NotBadForAQuarterback.
#AlwaysDoYou
Crazy when he sits down with a reporter who actaully respects Lamar, hes more genuine and more himself than we see in the weekly pressers. Hell of a job by Maria Taylor!
How can you not love this guy?!?!
You know why lol
@@volcanicmax007 cause he’s black? Only reason I can see
@@volcanicmax007 Cuz he's a black man dominating what's supposed to be a white man's position on the gridiron.
@@hakeemsd70m But there are other black QB's in the league (Dak, Mahomes, Jalen & Kyler just to name a few) & they don't get the level of hate & ridicule that Lamar gets (except maybe Kyler) so I don't get it. Is it his type of playing style? It's ridiculous whatever the reason is. I'm just grateful he's a Raven!!
Get this man a real #1 WR and a new OC and he can win multiple MVPs, titles and finish as one of the all time greats. Stick with Greg Roman and what they have now and all that potential is gonna continue to be wasted.
Won one MVP with Roman as OC and is having an MVP caliber season so far, the Greg Roman hate is getting very old, Stephen A Smith and the media are calling out the terrible Ravens defense not the offense and idiot fans like you keep picking on Roman the damn offense is averaging 29.75 pts per game smh 🤦🏾♂️
@@BillyBob000-r4s ngl sometimes it just seems like the situational playcalling and the routes are just bad idk i feel like if we had a guy like sean peyton or mccvay a guy like tht our offense could be otherworldly
💯!!
@@BillyBob000-r4s ppl say Roman because we've seen his max potential. Look at our run game is completely non existent on top off our passing schemes suck compared to other top teams. I know we just start passing alot but that's because of Keith & Martin not Greg.
Imo we ain't winning no SB with Greg as OC unless we have a top 5 Offense and a real #1 WR for Lamar.
@@36louieboy They have had injuries on the Oline and at RB which is hard for any OC, you guys aren’t comprehending that. The defense is the problem and I am glad the National media is calling them out for it, the fans need to comprehend that
Thank you Ms. Taylor this was a great interview. You took him back to the younger Lamar, and automatically he is praising and putting his teammates first, and of course his mom. He's so calm, gentle and humble, and then gets out on the field, wrecks havoc in as explosive way that we all watching just to see what he is about to do every week because he makes football fun for us all.
Steelers fan, not afraid to admit he's my favorite player to watch BECAUSE of his electrifying abilities. I was a Michael Vick fan too so it makes sense.
How can anyone not like this dude?
Lamar, you can’t lose this game, not to mention its a division game,shut all the critics.
Ravens can’t lose not just Lamar
Yes but when ravens lose it’s all about Lamar,and remember second half play calling not helping ravens either.they need to focus for 60 minutes.
It doesn't matter. They're still talking.
How could you even hate on this guy?
You know how they could
Maria. Job well done. This interview was brilliant!
Dude speed is just downright insane. It’s unreal. I’m a bengals fan and went to the game Sunday when they played us and his speed is crazy. Literally the fastest human being I ever seen in my life. Literally Nobody on the bengals defense could even get near this dude to catch him. TV absolutely does not do him justice at all.
His elusiveness is downright vindictive.
Lamar is so down to earth and people like him gets everything they wanted from the universe.
And I said this from the beginning I’m a Patrick Mahomes fan, but if Lamar wins one two three or however, many I’m going to enjoy watching him celebrate not only is he already proven people wrong but on the highest stage I can’t wait to hear all the backtracking !!
As a fan of the game & him I'm super proud of the young man & what he has become! Keep elevating & holding yourself to a high standard 💯
That's my quarterback Lamar Jackson what a great players and even greater young man
This man's attitude is incredible. It may be a greater asset to him than his athleticism.
Great player, even better human being
So humble, stay focus, I love how real he is ,he is very determine to be great, Thank God for mother's
Congratulations!🎉🎉🎉🎉Maria & family...fun watching this interview with Lamar Jackson...outstanding...
Lj the people's champ !!
Please don't leave Baltimore, but if you do I'll still be a fan!😄
I'm not really into football but I loved this interview.
Bro so Humble it’s crazy lol … great Role model
Lamar is the greatest quarterback of all time, because of the man he is a team player, humble, passionate, when it’s all said and done ✅ he has changed the quarterback position.
Lamar is super likeable. You can't dislike him. However, I am Lamar Jackson's biggest critic, because I saw his holes and wanted him to truly be great. Earn it, not handed a unworthy title. The man didn't sit on his talent. He has shown marked improvement in every deficiency, and for that I now really enjoy watching Lamar because his game is now complete. His drive will make him consistent and collected cool. That is all he needs to be at the top of the top and stay there.
The chemistry these two have. I loved this interview ❤
Having a enthusiastic, beautiful spirited black female interviewer made him more exciting to talk
Indeed
An interview without any contract talks!!!! Praise the lord!
😆😆😆😆😆😆
The contract negotiations had me twisted up for a bit. But, if I'm being honest, I do really like his personality. When he finishes his sideline interviews, he almost always ends with something like "I appreciate you , Ms. Lisa." He's a good guy with exceptional talent. And the fact that he doesn't sweat the critics because he's his own worst critic makes me like him more.
Im a Washington fan but this is the best qb in the league get him a true great wr and an o line and my guy going to get that ring... Big facts... Shit he so great he might not need any of that and still get it done
We all know Lamar Jackson is the truth!!! Am I the only one that misses Maria Taylor on college gameday???
LJ is the Ronnie Coleman of the NFL. Full of humility and kindness, while being an absolute machine.
Definitely my favorite player in the NFL. Seems so real to himself
By far!
Same here.
People claim they like old school players but hate on Lamar , take his play out of it that's the mindset you want your superstar QB to have
Maria Taylor w the A1 interview. Love every bit of this ✊🏾
3:23 you can tell Lamar knows the narrative against him and why.
LJ will go down as the best to ever do it. When it is all said and done the unbelievers will have no choice but to give him the respect he has already earned. Outstanding Person and Player. My guy!!!
Awesome interview! Go get that Ring Lamar. God bless you and your career.
What a good interview and what a good interviewer!
Bro is humble af
The interviewer was charming, her interview was very relaxing, intertwining, and intertaining, a beautiful lady, the way Lamar was blushing, most likely he was having the kinda lunch on his radar. 😊😅🏈🌷
Wow! Great interview Maria Taylor has soo much charisma and class!
This is the most comfortable I’ve ever seen Lamar in an interview.
Really well done Ms. Taylor.
This a great interview; kudos to MsTaylor and NBC Sports.
“That’s my QB “ -T.O voice
This dude is awesome how can you hate him? Amazing spirit so inspirational
Not only is Lamar 1 of the greatest qbs we’ve ever seen, he prolly could have been 1 of the best Receiver/RB’s if he decided to go that route 😂
That’s my QB!!!!!!!! Go Lamar!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🟣⚫️⚫️⚫️🟣🟣🏈🏈 Go Ravens!!!!
She is a great interviewer! She know how to ask & what to ask💯 Lamar Keep going up King 🤴🏾!
Give Lamar hill and waddle and the ravens win 3 straight
3 straight super bowls that is
It was kinda sad that he says he doesn't really like to go out anymore and its probably due to him being so famous and so scrutinized. But it will definitely make him a better player.
My man has a baby girl.
Why not ask him how close is he to negotiating his 5 year $650M fully guaranteed contract?
We need #8’s full attention on the field. #RavensForever.
Because She Respects Lamar and He Said He will not talk about the contract til after the season.... Which means he isn't thinking about money til the season over..... why u worried about that man's pocket so much....
Funny u say we need his full attention.... He Literally is only focused on the game right now and you the one still thinking about his money and bringing it up.... let that man Focus
NFL MVP 2022 Top Dawg💯!!!, enough said 😏
If I had this interview, I'd be grinning like Lamar too!
I love him so much, I wish he was my areas QB 🥺 but the Raven’s, with him, are just such a cool team.
I have always loved Scrambling Qb's. I go back to aaron brooks and saints.
Then fast forward to Vick on the cover of madden.
Now in madden I only played with ravens. I plan to win a major tournament with ravens one day
Am I the only one who GRINS anytime I see my quarterback?😃😄😁
I have been waiting for a long form LJ interview, thanks for making it happen
Be yourself, don’t follow anybody, want to be the best, work hard at it….and what God has for you will fall at your feet 👊
Best nfl player in the world in and off the court , u the reason I watch football young bro
Makes me want to be great...even if it's just keeping my house clean and my life organized.
such a genuinely nice guy. role model the NFL should be pushing as an example!
Love my QB #RavensGirl 🖤💜🖤💜
Such a great guy! 💜
Maria did a wonderful job with this interview. It was so fluid and she made him more comfortable and open up more as the interview went on
