Baltimore Ravens\u00a0star\u00a0quarterback\u00a0Lamar Jackson\u00a0made his acting debut on Friday, appearing in an episode of “Power Book III: Raising Kanan” on Starz.<\/p>\n

The former Louisville Cardinals quarterback won the Heisman Trophy before being drafted by the Ravens with the final pick of the first round in 2018. While he’s had a measure of success with his college career, he could be in store for an acting career when he hangs up his cleats – whenever that may be.<\/p>\n

Jackson won the Heisman Trophy during his senior season at Louisville, then notched two\u00a0NFL\u00a0MVP honors as a member of the Ravens.<\/p>\n

Ravens coach\u00a0Jim Harbaugh\u00a0revealed ahead of the episode that he was looking forward to it, and saw a familiar look on Jackson’s face in the preview.<\/p>\n

“I am looking forward to it,” Harbaugh told reporters. “You know, that facial expression in that clip, I’ve seen that look before. He’s looked at me that way a couple times, it’s a tough look right there. He’s got the face of an actor, man.<\/p>\n

“We just don’t need him to get too excited about the acting too early, let’s finish the football first. But I know he feels that way.”<\/p>\n

After the experience, Jackson gave credit to all the actors and actresses who do that on a full-time basis.<\/p>\n

“I tip my hats off to those actors and actresses because man, that’s a different type of world,” he said. “Not just football \u2014 putting on pads and going out there and doing something physical \u2014 you got to really memorize and articulate your words and do something this way just to make the scene much better. A lot goes into it, so I tip my hats off.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
