Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson nearly ate his teeth after showing up to work on a bicycle this Thursday.
He would have probably blamed fans for the mishap, but he’d eventually admit it was his fault because what are you doing on a damn bike?
Jackson, the NFL’s reigning MVP, has had an eventful offseason that could have taken on new levels of interest had he not been able to catch himself as he rode in, high-fiving both Ravens and Green Bay Packers, then losing his balance.
Check it out in the video below:
“You can really see the athleticism when someone tries to not fall off a moving bike. I would’ve eaten concrete,” one fan admitted.

“Lamar Jackson out for 4-6 weeks (face),” another joked.
“Geez Lamar lol I appreciate the high fives but damn dude don’t break your ankle doing this,” said a third.
“Somebody get Lamar some training wheels for God’s sakes,” someone else commented.
“That’s dangerously close to gimmick infringement from the Packers,” another comment read.
Lamar Jackson Isn’t Paying Attention To His Critics
Had Jackson fallen off his bike and sustained an injury, it would have earned him no end of grief. The star QB has already fielded enough criticism for failing to win a Super Bowl, with comparisons to sporting greats such as Allen Iverson and Charles Barkley being floated, given that they were some of the greatest players to ever grace an NBA floor while failing to win a chip.
Speaking on ‘Mad Dog Sports Radio’ this week, however, the Ravens star insisted it doesn’t matter to him.
“I really don’t care what the criticism is, what the critics say,” he said to Adam Schein. “I really don’t care what the criticism is, what the critics say.”
“I know what I wanna do at the end of the day. You know those guys had their time. Because at the end of the day, I just came off…injury the year before, and we made it all the way to the AFC… It’s nothing to be down on myself, my teammates, or anything like that, you know, ’cause we made it far…. We haven’t been to the AFC in a long time.”
Jackson also claimed that the Ravens are getting closer to pulling it off, but he might have set the team back slightly had he taken a spill off that bike.
