Jackson could formally turn out to be a three-time regular-season Most Precious Participant Award winner subsequent month, however he nonetheless routinely receives criticism for the reality that he has zero Tremendous Bowl appearances on his resume.
Whereas talking with reporters on Monday, Ravens fullback Patrick Ricard shared a assure concerning his well-known teammate.
