When they drafted Jackson with the 32nd pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, they knew he had the chance to be something special. Seven years into his NFL career, he already has a Hall of Fame resume. However, the Lombardi Trophy has eluded him each year.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">The team knows the goal for the 2025 campaign is Super Bowl or bust. Everyone on the team has heard the noise that they cannot get it done in the playoffs, and they are going into the year looking for vengeance.<\/p>\n<div id=\"inarticle_d_1_4\" class=\"mm-slot-content\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">On an episode of\u00a0\u201cCold as Balls\u201d with Kevin Hart, Jackson talked about his football career and how Baltimore\u2019s quest for a Lombardi after seven agonizing years of coming up short is the only goal to check off.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\"><em>\u201cWe\u2019re extremely close [to the Super Bowl],\u201d Jackson said. \u201cAs I\u2019ve been getting older in the league, my mindset has been different and the game has gotten a lot easier for me.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Lamar Jackson\u2019s leadership should help pave the way for a Super Bowl in 2025<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Jackson and the Ravens have endured it all. From dominating the NFL but getting upset in the Divisional Round of the playoffs to losing in the AFC Championship to tolerating countless injuries, football has thrown every mental and physical challenge the team&#8217;s way. This season, Jackson sounds ready to find a way over those obstacles.<\/p>\n<div id=\"inarticle_d_1_5\" class=\"mm-slot-content\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">The two-time MVP\u2019s perspective has changed each year since he entered the NFL. Through all the experiences and hardships, he has learned more and more about what it takes to reach the mountaintop. One of those factors is being a vocal leader, which is especially important at the quarterback position. In the interview, he talked about how he has become more of a voice on the field going into year eight.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\"><em>\u201cAs I\u2019ve been growing in the league, you have to talk to the guys,\u201d he told Hart. \u201cCoaches like to tell me I have to talk to the guys, and I would talk to them one-on-one.
