Ravens QB1 Lamar Jackson Honors His Debt of Gratitude With a 10-Year Promise

Baltimore, MD — Octobor 2, 2025

Not every NFL story is written on the field. For  Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson , one of the most powerful and meaningful chapters comes from a quiet act of gratitude off it.

Years ago, when Jackson  was just a teenager chasing his NFL dream but weighed down by financial struggles and uncertainty, he nearly reached a breaking point. That was when the mother of a childhood classmate stepped in. She not only provided him with money to cover expenses, but also gave him something far more valuable — the belief that his dream could still come true.

For many, it might have been just a loan. For Jackson , it was a lifeline and an act of faith he vowed never to forget.

 

Since signing his first NFL contract, Jackson has kept that promise: he sends $10,000 every month for  years to the family who helped him when he needed it most.

“She didn’t just give me money. She gave me hope,” Jackson recalls. “I promised myself that if I ever made it, I’d make sure her family never had to worry again. And I’ll keep that promise as long as I can.”

By the end of that commitment, Jackson will have given more than $1.8 million—far beyond what he initially received. But to him, the number isn’t what matters. It’s about loyalty, gratitude, and honoring the people who believed in him when the world still had doubts.

Jackson has even shown his appreciation by hiring the woman’s son as a personal driver for his wife and children.

Chiefs Linked To Saints Super Star With 5x Pro Bowl & 2x All-Pro in Blockbuster Trade, Per Source
Kansas City, MO — According to a circulating on X (Twitter), the Kansas City Chiefs have been “linked” to Alvin Kamara—the New Orleans Saints superstar, five-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro—as a potential target ahead of the trade deadline. The speculation has heated up as various outlets have also floated Kamara as a logical “fit” should the Chiefs look to add a versatile, late-season playmaker on offense. At 30, Kamara is a rare dual-threat RB who excels as both a runner and receiver. He tied the NFL single-game record with six rushing touchdowns (Christmas Day 2020 vs. the Vikings), and he has recently been recognized as the Saints’ all-time leader in rushing yards. Across his career: 5× Pro Bowl, 2× Second-Team All-Pro, and a skill set tailor-made for Andy Reid’s motion/spacing concepts—screens, angle/choice routes, safe check-downs, and short play-action. Tactically, if a move ever materialized, Kamara would immediately put stress on short-to-intermediate coverages, force defenses to roll a safety, and give Kansas City intriguing two-back looks alongside Isiah Pacheco on 3rd-and-medium and in the red zone. In this hypothetical scenario, Kamara voices a desire for a fresh challenge after hitting so many personal milestones in New Orleans: “I’ve achieved just about everything with the Saints, and I want a new challenge for myself. What could be better than a team competing directly for a Super Bowl? Just thinking about wearing Red and Gold really excites me.” Source: @nflrums X As of now, there has been no official confirmation from the Chiefs or the Saints regarding any talks. Still, Kamara’s résumé and toolbox explain why his name is quickly paired with Kansas City whenever rumors of an offensive upgrade surface. With 5× Pro Bowls, 2× All-Pro honors, and a proven knack for tilting games as both a runner and receiver, even a whisper on social media is enough to make Chiefs Kingdom perk up.
