Ravens Lamar Jackson stumps for DK Metcalf Sauce Gardner on Twitter
It seems Lamar Jackson is taking a new approach to recruiting players to join the Ravens.Jackson has tweeted his thoughts about two talented players Seahawks receiver DK Metcalf and potential first-round draft pick Sauce Gardner over the last couple of days. His endorsement of Metcalf
Kendall Graveman Jersey came on Sunday while his praise of Gardner came Monday.In addre sing Metcalf, who has been the subject of trade rumors in recent weeks, Jackson retweeted a picture of the 24-year-old receiver photoshopped into a Ravens uniform. Jackson also said Metcalf would be welcomed "with open arms" in Baltimore. slide We got them Guyz but you can slide to we welcome everyone here with open arms you definitely one of them Guyz as well Lamar Jackson (@Lj_era8) MORE:
Kosuke Fukudome Jersey Metcalf, 24, would certainly fill a need for the Ravens. The team could use a true No. 1 receiver and while Hollywood Brown has flashed at times, he hasn't played at a consistent level during his career. Metcalf has great size (6-4, 235 pounds) so he would complement the diminutive Brown (5-9, 180 pounds) well.It's unclear whether the Ravens would be willing to exchange draft capital for Metcalf and give him a long-term contract extension. They have the 14th pick in the 2022 NFL Draft and are armed with $70 million in cap space for 2023, so they could at least consider him.However, it's worth noting that part of the reason that the Ravens have so much cap space is that Jackson isn't signed long-term. They may want to focus on guaranteeing his future in Baltimore first before offloading a sets for a player like Metcalf.MORE:Gardner is a little bit different. He evidently caught Jackson's eye after Gardner called himself "the best player in the draft."Come
Jose Quintana Jersey to the ravenz Lamar Jackson (@Lj_era8) Gardner, a 6-3 cornerback, didn't allow a receiving touchdown during his college career, so he has the shutdown ability that teams are always looking for in cornerbacks. That also happens to be a position of need for Baltimore, a team that sports little depth behind Marcus Peters and Marlon Humphrey.Jackson may want Gardner, but it will probably be harder to land him than Metcalf. Why? Because Gardner looks like a potential if not, likely top-10 selection. It's hard to project just how high he might go.Could the Ravens trade up to get him? Sure. But will they? They haven't often over the years, save for 2018 when they jumped from the second round into

Danny Hultzen Jersey trying to stir the pot and have some fun. It appears to be a mixture of both that is focused more on the latter.Jackson released a me sage on Sunday that said he "shouldn't have tweeted" about Metcalf. He doesn't want to add fuel to the fire of speculation surrounding the receiver.Ight my bad I shouldnt have tweeted that cause now people gone speculate all type of stuff Hey but its Twitter let me tweet Lamar Jackson (@Lj_era8) It may be a bit too late to put that out now.
