Lamar Jackson Raves About What Odell Beckham Jr. Brings to Ravens

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and new Baltimore wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. appear to be well on their way toward buidling a strong rapport.

Baltimore’s franchise quarterback discussed his new teammate, among other topics during the team’s preseason opener on Saturday, and gave a glowing review of Beckham.

While discussing the team’s new pass-catcher and what it’s like playing with Beckham, Jackson had a unique way of describing their connection in his interview with WBAL-TV.

Beckham has a long history of making dynamic catches, including the one-handed variety, and Jackson clearly is excited to test those skills on the field.

"He makes my job a lot easier. Put it anywhere in his perimeter and he's going to make something happen. It's like throwing an alley-oop and Odell is just finishing with the dunk." -Lamar Jackson on new WR Odell Beckham Jr. pic.twitter.com/z2LeR0Zijr

Ravens fans have to be salivating at the idea of Jackson throwing an alley-oop up to Beckham, given his résumé of amazing receptions.

Beckham is set to return from a one-season absence from the league after suffering a torn ACL in Super Bowl LVI with the Rams. He was linked to numerous teams both last year and this offseason before joining Baltimore on a one-year, $15 million deal with $3 million in incentives.
