Stephen A. Smith Makes Bold Prediction: Lamar Jackson Will Lead the Ravens to Super Bowl Glory!
In an electrifying moment that’s got NFL fans talking, ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith has made a bold, unflinching prediction for the upcoming season: Lamar Jackson will lead the Baltimore Ravens to Super Bowl victory. Without a second of hesitation, Smith confidently declared Jackson as the player to take the Ravens all the way, leaving no doubt in his mind.
“NO HESITATION. LAMAR JACKSON WILL LEAD THE RAVENS TO A SUPER BOWL WIN!” Smith exclaimed during a recent broadcast, his voice filled with passion. “We’re talking about a quarterback who’s not just elite, he’s a game-changer. And when it’s all said and done, Lamar Jackson is going to be hoisting that Lombardi Trophy in 2026. Mark my words.”
Smith’s prediction has sent shockwaves through the NFL world, as many analysts have questioned the Ravens’ chances this season. However, the outspoken analyst remains unwavering in his belief that Jackson’s unique skill set, leadership, and determination will be enough to power Baltimore to the ultimate prize.
“Look, this man is one of the most talented quarterbacks to ever step on the field,” Smith continued. “His ability to impact the game with his legs and his arm is unparalleled. But it’s his heart and leadership that’s going to push this team to the Super Bowl. Lamar Jackson is not just playing for a championship; he’s playing to cement his legacy as one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time.”
Jackson, who has faced his fair share of doubters over the years, is coming off a stellar season in which he showed growth as a passer and a leader. With a revamped roster and a stronger supporting cast, the Ravens are more equipped than ever to make a serious run at the Super Bowl.
“Don’t underestimate what’s coming,” Smith concluded. “This is Lamar’s year, and the Ravens will be standing tall at the end of it.”
As the 2025 season approaches, all eyes will be on Lamar Jackson and the Ravens to see if they can live up to Stephen A. Smith’s bold prediction. One thing is for certain: if Jackson delivers, it will go down as one of the most memorable seasons in NFL history.
Luke Glendening Eyes Roster Spot with Devils After Lightning Move, Sheary Joins Rangers
Former Tampa Bay Lightning forward Luke Glendening has signed a professional tryout (PTO) with the New Jersey Devils, giving him a chance to compete for a roster spot at training camp. Glendening became an unrestricted free agent (UFA) on July 1 after the Lightning chose to move in a different direction. While he has yet to secure a home for the 2025–26 season, this PTO provides an opportunity to earn a contract with New Jersey.
The 36-year-old veteran appeared in 77 games with Tampa Bay last season, posting four goals, three assists and 105 hits. Glendening has logged 864 NHL games across stints with Detroit, Dallas, and Tampa Bay. Despite battling through shoulder injuries in back-to-back postseasons, he believes he has more hockey left to give.
For the Devils, the move adds experienced competition to their bottom-six forward group. If Glendening can carve out a role, his ability to win faceoffs could complement a young New Jersey lineup.
Other former Lightning unrestricted free agents from this summer have found new opportunities as well. Forward Conor Sheary reunited with his former coach Mike Sullivan by accepting a PTO with the New York Rangers, while defenseman Nick Perbix signed a two-year contract with the Nashville Predators.
