Joe Flacco Speaks With Peter King For FOOTBALL MORNING IN AMERICA Exclusively On NBCSports.com

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh and QB Joe Flaccospoke with Peter King in this week's edition of "Football Morning in America" on NBCSports.com. King traveled to Owings Mills, Md., this past week as part of his annual training camp tour. Flacco and Harbaugh discussed drafting QB Lamar Jackson and the dynamics of a two-quarterback system.

The following are highlights from King's visit to Ravens training camp:

  • Flacco on Baltimore drafting Lamar Jackson: "There's definitely a certain feeling you have. I don't know if it's the worst feeling in the world, but it's definitely means something. There's definitely a little bit of a message in there. But this is the NFL, man. I've been in it for 10 years, seen pretty much everything."
  • Harbaugh on what he told Flacco after drafting Jackson: "I called Joe the night we drafted him. My message was, 'You're the quarterback.' But he's realistic too."
  • Harbaugh on the dynamics of having two quarterbacks: "We have ideas. People are seeing it out here. Sometimes Lamar will be the quarterback. Sometimes we'll have two quarterbacks. Sometimes Joe will be doing something else. Sometimes Lamar will be doing something else. We'll try to be creative. That's really about all I can tell you: We're going to try to be creative with them."
  • Jackson on the Ravens being creative with two quarterbacks: "I'm a quarterback. I'll do whatever they want that's best for the team."
