Ravens HC John Harbaugh reveals surprise about backup QB position

The Baltimore Ravens have their quarterback of both the present and future in Lamar Jackson. There’s no question that Jackson will be the starting signal caller for as long as he’s in Baltimore, but a much more uncertain position is who will back him up in 2024.

At the 2024 NFL Owners Meetings, head coach John Harbaugh revealed a surprise about who would have the edge as Jackson’s backup if the season started today. Instead of mid-season roster additions Malik Cunningham, Harbaugh went with veteran Josh Johnson.
