Lamar Jackson’s Weight Gain Has Shocked the Ravens Fans as He Appeared More Healthy in Training Camp: He Claims to Have Gained 25 Pounds of Muscle Mass; Latest News Update!
Lamar Jackson (@new_era8) is bulking up in preparation for the Baltimore Ravens‘ postseason run. The 6-foot-2 quarterback, who is 25 years old, revealed that he gained 25 pounds during the offseason, going from 205 pounds to 230 pounds. The additional muscle would be regarded as a favorable physical trait for the majority of League quarterbacks. But the sudden weight gain could be a problem for a dual-threat quarterback who is also an excellent runner.
As Lamar Jackson’s rookie contract approaches its last year, there was a lot of uncertainty regarding his future in Baltimore. As a result, the former Heisman Trophy winner and first-round NFL Draft pick cleared the air with contract discussions.
The signal-caller, who is entering the final year of his rookie deal, is in his fifth season and seems to have spent the offseason putting on weight. Jackson said he usually plays at between 205 and 208 pounds. Now he aims for a heavier weight, regarding the weight gain he stated:
I just wanted to do it. See how I look, see how I feel, and I feel good.
Despite the 12–15 pound increase in muscle mass, he still seems to move with his trademark quickness. As the undisputed NFL MVP in 2019, Jackson, the 32nd overall pick in the 2018 draft, raised the bar early in his career. The Louisville-made product aims to rebound from a challenging 2021 campaign.
A while back, Lamar Jackson shared the proof on social media along with a photo of himself wearing a sleeveless shirt. The photo quickly gained popularity as solid proof that Jackson is working out consistently. DK Metcalf even asked Jackson if he could borrow a bicep. Even Coach of the Ravens’ quarterbacks, James Urban, admitted that he likes his weight gain.
At a sub-215 frame, Lamar’s deceiving speed in and out of the quarterback’s pocket seemed to be effective. Given his increased weight, Jackson’s running might either get better or worse in the future year. Jackson will probably finish up in the 220s after the training camps are up, but the quarterback claimed that his current fitness should help his durability while taking off as a runner.
Lamar Jackson gained around 10 pounds throughout the offseason in 2019 after going through the NFL gauntlet in his rookie season. The former MVP is currently in the midst of a make-or-break contract season, and Lamar wants to make sure he can play all 17 games in order to cash in. Jackson disclosed to NFL reporters:
I just wanted to put a little more weight on me, cause 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.
Fans and critics are really impressed to see the impressive weight gain on the athlete and are hoping for an even better performance this year and we are sure he won’t disappoint his fans and display excellent as he always has been.
