New York Jets defensive end Jacob Martin spoke with Sportskeeda about facing Jackson and the Ravens in week one.

He knows the threat Jackson poses and the challenge that's right in front of him, but he's excited to face a big challenge in week one.

Martin said:

“Much respect for his game and the things that he's brought to the game, you know? He's really a truly all-electric exciting player to compete against and you know, I’m a huge fan of his game, you know. So I'm just excited to be out there and compete with the guys, you know."

Martin added that he's looking forward to going out there and competing again.

"Just to be out there, playing on a team with new guys and I’m just excited to have those Sunday competitions back, you know, I think it builds a certain kind of chemistry, with a team to be able to, just show the work that you put in over training camp and over the season. I think that that really brings a team together, it helps bring the total vision.

In the Jets' pre-season opener, starting quarterback Zach Wilson suffered a non-contact injury to his right knee resulting in a meniscus tear and bruise to the bone. He is not expected to play week one and could be sidelined for up to a month.

Next man up: Joe Flacco. Flacco will face his former team, the Baltimore Ravens, who drafted him and who he won a Super Bowl with. He will face off against the man who replaced him in Baltimore, Lamar Jackson.

Flacco played in two games last season for the Jets, recording 338 passing yards and three touchdowns while completing 64.2% of his passes.
