Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson showcased his boxing skills during an offseason training session, drawing widespread attention on social media Tuesday.
The NFL’s official Instagram account shared the clip, writing: “@new_era8’s hands are quick 😳 (via @thatsaintlife & @coach_troyjones).” The video shows Jackson in a boxing gym throwing rapid punches, working on hand speed and technique with mitts or pads as part of his preparation ahead of the 2026 season.
Jackson, entering his ninth NFL season, has incorporated boxing drills into his routine, a move observers say could sharpen his hand-eye coordination and agility as one of the league’s most mobile quarterbacks. ESPN Ravens reporter Jamison Hensley noted on X: “Entering his 9th NFL season, Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is coming out swinging. Jackson has apparently incorporated boxing into his offseason training.”

The post quickly sparked reactions across platforms. On Instagram, one user joked, “Lamar vs Logan Paul,” while another wrote, “don’t let this man have ANY bad games next season it’s over 😭.” Comments ranged from praise — “His jab decent” and “that’s my king” — to lighthearted skepticism: “Don’t quit your day job brotha” and “Quick where ?!”
On X, fans and analysts amplified the buzz. NFL insider Dov Kleiman posted: “Scary: Ravens star QB Lamar Jackson is working out at a boxing gym this offseason to improve his hand-eye coordination. Jackson will be a PROBLEM next season 😈.” Boxing account Source of Boxing added: “Lamar Jackson training boxing today 🥊 ‘I salute every boxer out there 💯’.”
Other users shared similar sentiment, with one Ravens fan writing, “Man that Lamar Jackson boxing video had me giggle like I was 3 years old again 😂😂.”
Jackson has not publicly commented on the workout’s specific goals, but the clip aligns with his history of innovative offseason training to maintain his dual-threat style. The Ravens open the 2026 season in September.
