Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh is determined to develop his new rookie quarterback.
The Baltimore Ravens already have their franchise quarterback in Lamar Jackson, but they still selected a signal-caller in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Devin Leary, the team's sixth-round pick out of Kentucky, may have been the most surprising pick in the Baltimore's draft class, but the Ravens see him as Jackson's future backup. But in order to be trusted with those duties, Leary has to clean up parts of his game. In his senior season at Kentucky, Leary threw for 25 touchdowns, but also had 12 interceptions despite only having 16 in four seasons at NC State. The turnovers are worrisome, but coach John Harbaugh has a plan in place.
"I think it's very fixable in the sense that, the arm strength is there, and I think he's an accurate thrower,"."But, he unfortunately threw it to the other team too many times. He and I had that conversation. I said 'What's your trait?' He said,"I work hard, I'm tough. I'm dedicated,' and I go, 'I know, but what's your football trait on the field?' He goes 'Oh, I've got a great arm.
Leary has self-awareness, and that's possibly the first step towards development. But Leary also has time on his hands, which is also a plus. He's expected to be the third-string quarterback this season behind Jackson and veteran Josh Johnson, who's on a one-year deal. However, the hope is that Leary can step into that QB2 role in 2025 when he's less prone to picks.
