Lamar Jackson calls Ravens' draft pick 'Ray Lewis Jr.'
The Baltimore Ravens used the 28th pick in Thursday's draft on middle linebacker Patrick Queen, and Lamar Jackson believes the prospect is reminiscent of a former franchise great.
The reigning NFL MVP hollered "Ray Lewis Jr.," during an Instagram Live video with receiver Marquise Brown after the Ravens made the selection.

Queen has drawn comparisons to Lewis for their smaller stature and shared position. Though he stood 6-foot-1, Lewis was one of the game's most feared hitters. Queen checks in at 6-foot, 229 pounds.
"I'm not really making comparisons, just looking at Patrick for who he is as a player. He really is legit," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said, according to ESPN's Jamison Hensley. "For us to come away with Patrick Queen is a big win."
