Lamar Jackson keeps quietly pushing Brendan Gaunce Jersey for the Ravens to add Antonio Brown to their wide receiver corps. It's a good thing they're still not listening to their reigning MVP quarterback.

Jackson, in speaking to reporters at the onset off training camp Wednesday, once again expre sed how he wouldlove for histeam to sign Brown after working out with the free agent in April.

"It was nice throwing to Antonio Brown" Jackson said, ."I was hoping we would get him. I'm still hoping a little bit."

When throwing to Brown earlier Ken Dryden Jersey in the offseason, Jackson came awayimpre sed with not only Brown's talent, but his pa sion, work ethic and drive to win. On top of boosting a young Baltimore wideout corps on the field, Jackson also believes the former Steeler, Raider and Patriot could mesh with John Carlson Jersey the Ravens' players off the field.

"There's no quit with him," Jackson said. "That's the type of guy we need in our locker room. I feel like the locker room here is different than any other locker room. There's a brotherhood going on. None of that outside noise. It's strictly inside."

Brown, who quickly reversed course from potential retirement this summer, has pushed for the NFL to finish its investigation into allegations David Krejci Jersey of sexual a sault and misconduct against him. Should he be cleared and allowed to sign and play with anyone in 2020 without discipline, Baltimore officials shouldn't want to me s with any real interest in Brown.

The Ravens went 14-2 as the top AFC playoff seed last season with an elite run-heavy offense. They strengthenedtheir No. 1 rushing attack by drafting rookie running back J.K. Dobbins. They are short Alexei Emelin Jersey on experience at wide receiver, but have plenty of promise in second-year speedsters Marquise "Hollywood" Brown Antonio's cousin and Miles Boykin. They also drafted two more wideouts, Devin Duvernay and James Proche. They also have a rising star at tight end Braden Holtby Jersey in Mark Andrews, Jackson's go-to guy from 2019 who has no plans to opt out of the season despite having Type 1 diabetes.

Jackson vouching for Antonio Brown is no surprise, because when Brownworks out, he continues to prove he's in tremendous shape atage 32. The running and pa s-catching aren't the i sues, or he would have either stayed with the Raiders or the Patriots last season. In both Leon Draisaitl Jersey cases, for different reasons, the risks a sociated with him far outweighed his rewards.

The Ravens aren't as desperate at wide receiver as those teams were, andhave made it a point of late to avoid signingplayers with troubling baggage. They have made Howie Morenz Jersey moves over the past two offseasons that say they're comfortable with youth at the skill positions growing along with Jackson.

Could Brown make the Ravens that much better? Maybe. Could Brown make the Ravens' worse? Definitely.

Baltimore won big last season because of Jackson's play backed by a strong scheme, consistent execution and solid offensive chemistry. Brown is used to teams in Pittsburgh that threw more Daniel Sedin Jersey than 60 percent of the time, seeing plenty of volume. The Ravens, so effective on the ground,pa sed only 46 percent of the time with Jackson last season. How will Brown respond when he's not seeing the same targets as he did as the Steelers' No. 1? Will he hurt or help more in bringing along the young receivers?

The Ravens have plenty of offensive answers without Antonio Brown. There's little upside in Phil Esposito Jersey bringing on those questions.
