What's the latest on Lamar Jackson?

Lamar Jackson has replaced Aaron Rodgers as the most talked-about quarterback in the NFL. Jackson has been in the news all off-season, as he and the Baltimore Ravens are seemingly in the middle of a bitter separation. The issue is that, unlike Rodgers, Jackson apparently lacks the suitors his talents deserve.

On Wednesday, news came out that the Indianapolis Colts admire him but instead use their fourth overall pick in the 2023 draft to select a younger franchise QB. Colts' owner, Jim Irsay, said:

"Our belief, and my belief, has been you build with the draft; the draft is your pipeline for our team's success or failure. That is where it's at."

First-year Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen reiterated his boss' stance that the draft is the top team-building tool:

"We are focused on the draft, and I am focused on the guys in the building right now."

Lamar Jackson may be stuck in Baltimore for a little longer.
