Donald Trump shouts out Ravens’ Lamar Jackson and mom during Maryland speech

On October 6, 2026, President Donald Trump addressed a crowd in Baltimore at a new Navy shipbuilding facility. During his speech, he made sure to acknowledge Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and his mother, Felicia Jones, by giving them a shoutout. Several members of the Ravens team, including Marlon Humphrey, Tyler Loop, Ryan Eckley, and long snapper Nick Moore, were present in the audience.

Trump referred to the players as "big stars" and "good-looking guys," noting that they were earning substantial salaries. When discussing Lamar Jackson, Trump mentioned that he had seen the quarterback's mother, Felicia Jones, several times previously in Palm Beach, describing her as "fantastic, beautiful." Despite Jackson currently nursing an ankle injury, Trump expressed his admiration for the player, saying, "He's some player."

The Ravens have had a successful run recently, winning two consecutive games after starting the season 1-1 following a loss to the New Orleans Saints. They claimed victory in Brazil against the Dallas Cowboys and then defeated the Tennessee Titans in Week 4, although Jackson had been sidelined with an injury during that win. With Tyler Huntley stepping in to fill in for Jackson, the Ravens will face a challenging stretch of games against the Atlanta Falcons, Cleveland Browns, Cincinnati Bengals, Buffalo Bills, and Jacksonville Jaguars.

Currently, the Ravens are tied for first place in the AFC North alongside the Browns, while the Pittsburgh Steelers and Bengals sit in third place.
