Lamar Jackson praises rookie Rasheen Ali, the rest of the Ravens running back group.

The Baltimore Ravens bolstered their running back group during the 2024 offseason. They signed former Tennessee Titans rusher Derrick Henry, but that's not their only move.

The team selected Marshall running back Rasheen Ali in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL draft, hoping he would be an impact player. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was asked about Ali and praised him alongside the rest of the team's running backs.

"Oh, [Rasheen Ali] looks smooth, man. He's pretty fast from what I've seen on the field. But, it's not just him. We've got Justice [Hill], [and] we've got 'O' [Owen Wright] doing their thing. The backs are looking good."

Jackson has often sung the praises of Henry and running back Keaton Mitchell. However, the quarterback seems confident in all of Baltimore's rushers, with another big year hopefully in store for the group.
