One of the more unique aspects of the Ravens' offseason was Lamar Jackson's involvement in the process of finding the franchise's next head coach. The veteran quarterback said having a voice during the search gave him a new appreciation for everything that goes into hiring a coach.

Asked about his role in the process, Jackson said it was an eye-opening experience.

"It was a great experience for me knowing about all the conversations you have to have with a coach and to interview guys, and it was extremely cool for me."

Jackson also thanked owner Steve Bisciotti and general manager Eric DeCosta for allowing him to be part of those discussions.

"Shout out to Eric and shout out to Mr. Steve for that."

Among the candidates, Jackson said Jesse Minter's personality immediately stood out.

"Coach Jesse, like I said, he always has a smile on his face. He had the same thing during the interview, and it was just cool. He was down to earth."

That impression hasn't changed since Minter officially took over.

"It was just cool to experience."

As the Ravens begin a new era, Jackson's involvement in the process highlights the trust the organization has placed in its franchise quarterback.
