The Ravens can’t win the Super Bowl in July, but they can work on what it will take to get there.

That’s the approach Lamar Jackson is bringing to training camp in his eighth season. Experience has taught him to focus on the details, not the ultimate destination.

The biggest question this offseason is whether the Ravens and Jackson, who have been so close in recent years, will get over the hump and into the Super Bowl. Is this the year?

“To be honest, I’m really not trying to think that far [ahead], because every time we had those discussions, man, we get to the playoffs, but we don’t punch in,” Jackson said. “We don’t finish, so I’m pretty much just trying to finish camp the correct way and then get ready for the [Buffalo] Bills. I’m not really trying to think about the Super Bowl yet.”

Jackson is a two-time MVP coming off his most complete season. Yet, he’s still only 28 years old, very much in his prime.

That’s a potent combination, and the Ravens are trying to maximize it. Entering his third year with Offensive Coordinator Todd Monken, Jackson is working to own the offense even more than in previous seasons.

Training camp gives Jackson an opportunity to work on his craft. When the Ravens’ defense throws multiple looks at him during practice, Jackson wants to read them like he has a cheat code. He wants to spread the ball and build chemistry with all of Baltimore’s weapons, most notably veteran wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, who the Ravens signed in the offseason.

Jackson is seeking a strong training camp, followed by another brilliant regular season, which leads to a spectacular postseason. It’s a great vision, but right now Jackson is looking at a blank canvas for next season, and the picture he wants to create must be painted step by step.
