Lamar Jackson made his acting debut this past week when he appeared in an episode of "Raising Kanan." While it's not unusual for NFL players to venture into acting careers, his current role has been criticized by some on social media.
The Baltimore Ravens quarterback played a hitman named "E-Tone" in the episode, and in one scene, he appeared out of a bathroom stall and murdered an unsuspecting man.

NFL fans on social media questioned whether Lamar Jackson's role was a good idea as a role model to young kids. Others predicted the various memes that would come from the scene.

Ravens HC John Harbaugh gave his take on Lamar Jackson's acting debut
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh spoke to reporters this week as his rookies reported to mini-camp. He was asked about his quarterback's acting debut, to which he expressed his excitement for Lamar Jackson.
"I am looking forward to it," Harbaugh told reporters. "You know, that facial expression in that clip, I've seen that look before. He's looked at me that way a couple times, it's a tough look right there. He's got the face of an actor, man."
John Harbaugh then emphasized that Jackson can focus on his acting career after his NFL career.
"We just don't need him to get too excited about the acting too early, let's finish the football first. But I know he feels that way."
Harbaugh expects his quarterback to return to the success he had in 2025. Jackson threw for a career-high 4,172 yards and 41 touchdowns, leading the Ravens to a 12-5 record.
