Ravens News: Orlando Brown Jr. doesn't hold back, Lamar Jackson's deep passes

Training camp can't come soon enough for the Baltimore Ravens. It'll be exciting to see what all the new faces will accomplish as they prepare for the upcoming season, especially the 2023 NFL Draft class.

It'll also be a lot of fun seeing all these positional battles we've been speaking about for months finally become reality to see who steps up and proves their case to be starting material. Some surprising names will make it to the top of the depth chart and hopefully, the Ravens field the best roster possible for 2023 for continued success.

It won't be easy with final cuts but there is a plethora of talent all across this roster and as of right now, the Ravens are in a pretty good place. Now it's just a matter of being patient until training camp is here so we can all get a deeper look during real football situations and eventually, preseason action.

At the end of the day, a healthy Jackson is a huge difference-maker for the Ravens and for years now, we've seen him have MVP-like seasons where he plays lights-out football.
