The Ravens had their first of two straight mandatory minicamp practices Tuesday, and the secondary has been nowhere near as bad as a year ago when it gave up the deep ball consistently and allowed 244.

The Ravens quarterback is publicly advocating for his former teammate Jaire Alexander to join the franchise, shortly after he was released by the Green Bay Packers earlier this month. Jackson even pretended to drop to his knees and beg Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta when asked about the possibility on Tuesday.
