Ravens Camp Report: Likely Stands Out; Jackson Solid Again
OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Lamar Jackson says Isaiah Likely is a tight end that plays like a wide receiver.
Likely certainly showed he has the potential to make plays deep downfield.
The rookie made several impactful receptions during the second day of training camp. In one instance, Likely beat a defensive back and made an over-the-shoulder 55-yard reception that was the play of the day.
Likely is already drawing comparisons to Mark Andrews.
"Isaiah is like a wide receiver but a tight end’s body," Jackson said. "He’s like a baby Mark right now."
Fellow wide receiver Rashod Bateman also had another solid practice with several key receptions. Bateman is the best route runner on the team and has shown he can be a go-to playmaker for the offense.
Tight Mark Andrews has caught almost every pass thrown his way and is poised for another huge season.
Jackson Solid Again
Quarterback Lamar Jackson continues to shine and he had another effective day of practice.
Jackson unofficially completed 12 of 17 pass attempts in the full-team and 7-on-7 drills. He has several solid connections with Likely.
