Lamar Jackson added a skill to his r\u00e9sum\u00e9 this offseason: acting.<\/p>\n

Making his debut on the television screen, Jackson made a cameo appearance in the ninth episode of the hit crime drama show\u00a0Power Book III: Raising Kanan<\/em>, which aired on May 9. A ruthless competitor on the football field for the Baltimore Ravens, Jackson played the cold-blooded and dangerous enforcer E-Tone, an associate of one of the main characters in the show.<\/p>\n

One of Jackson’s first scenes\u00a0depicted him mercilessly killing a man in a bathroom stall with a silenced gun. Another scene shows\u00a0Jackson shrugging off the deed\u00a0while conversing with a character protrayed by rapper Joey Bada$$.<\/p>\n

Jackson, speaking to the media during the first day of mandatory minicamp on Tuesday, said he had\u00a0tweeted about the show, jokingly saying he wanted to be in a few scenes. Little did he know that the show’s executive producer, Sascha Penn, would actually grant him the opportunity.<\/p>\n
