Lamar Jackson has shied away from Baltimore Ravens facilities this season while stalling contract extension talks, but the team is still enthusiastic about his work to improve.

According to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic, Jackson has enlisted the help of quarterback mechanics expert Adam Dedeaux, and he has worked out with several receivers away from the team.

Jackson had the worst passing season of his career. He missed five games because of illness and injury, and threw for 2,884 yards and 16 touchdown against 13 picks. His 13 picks were 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611

The Ravens signed right tackle Morgan and center Tyler Linderbaum in the first round of the draft. They will have major questions at the receiver spot after trading Brown.

After a quiet first season, last year's first-round pick is now atop the wideout depth chart.

It will be up to Jackson to make the most out of his receiving corps with his arm talent.

The lack of talent in the supporting cast makes Jackson and the Ravens even more interesting. Jackson has a unique skill set that requires his body to be able to tolerate punishment as he uses his legs in the open field. It's important for him to be able to go through certain plays where he can avoid taking hits or waiting around for a route to develop if he has reliable receivers.

Jackson could be setting himself up for disappointment if he struggles with injuries for a second season, but there is something to be said for betting on yourself. He needs to improve his mechanics so that he gets the ball out earlier and stays healthy.
