Lamar Jackson Says Ravens' 1st Round Draft Pick Patrick Queen Is 'Ray Lewis Jr.'

Lamar Jackson was ecstatic to see the Baltimore Ravens select LSU linebacker Patrick Queen No. 28 overall in the first round of the 2020 NFL draft. 

During an Instagram Live chat, Jackson called Queen "Ray Lewis Jr." when the Ravens pick was announced. 

There are certainly similarities between Queen and Lewis as prospects and where they were selected in their respective draft class. 

Lewis was selected No. 26 overall by the Ravens in 1996 after being a two-time All-American at the University of Miami. He was considered undersized for a middle linebacker at 6'1" and 235 pounds, but he turned into a Hall of Fame player after an iconic 17-year career. 

B/R's Matt Miller noted in his scouting report for Queen that the former LSU star is a "touch undersized (6'0", 229 lbs)" but praised his upside as being "through the roof."

Queen left LSU on a high note when he was named Defensive MVP of the 2020 College Football Playoff Championship Game. The 20-year-old recorded eight total tackles and 2.5 tackles for loss in the Tigers' 42-25 win over Clemson. 

It's unfair to compare any Ravens linebacker to Lewis, but Queen's rare skill set at least gives him a chance to make an impact on their defense like the 13-time Pro Bowler used to do.
