Daniels spreads the ball effectively while adding explosive plays with his legs.

He has also racked up 192 yards on the ground and found the end zone once as a runner, so he has put all of his skills on display so far in 2025.</p><p>Green is being coached by offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino, who once coached Heisman Trophy winner and two-time NFL MVP Lamar Jackson during his college days at Louisville. Petrino is holding Green to that standard, and <a href="https://x.com/ESPNCFB/status/1965638969372086734" rel="noopener">it is paying off</a> so far this season.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">"[Bobby Petrino] sets me to that [Heisman Trophy] standard every single day. … He sees greatness in me."<a href="https://twitter.com/RazorbackFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@RazorbackFB</a> QB Taylen Green reflects on Bobby Petrino comparing him to Lamar Jackson and how it motivates him to get better every day 💪 <a href="https://t.co/rtAhpwGfg7">pic.twitter.com/rtAhpwGfg7</a></p><p>— ESPN College Football (@ESPNCFB) <a href="https://twitter.com/ESPNCFB/status/1965638969372086734?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 10, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>“He sets me to that standard every single day,” Green said on SportsCenter. “Whether it’s my footwork or my fundamentals throwing the ball, whether it’s in the weight room. Every single say he holds me to that standard and he sees greatness in me. He’s gonna let me know when I’m not hitting that standard and when I am. I love Coach Petrino and have a deep respect for him because every single day he demands perfection and greatness out of me.”</p><p>The task will obviously get a lot harder for Green and this Arkansas offense, which showed promising signs in 2024 but couldn’t maintain much consistency. Including Ole Miss on Saturday, eight of the Razorbacks’ final 10 opponents are currently ranked in the AP top 25, so it will take some great play from the star quarterback to build momentum during the course of this gauntlet.</p><p>Green has shown that he has the talent to be one of the top signal callers in the SEC, and Petrino clearly believes that he can be that guy. Only time will tell if he is in fact ready to take the leap to stardom.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Also, an incident between <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/bills-news-fan-lamar-jackson-altercation-banned-nfl-stadiums">Lamar Jackson and a fan</a> left the fan banned from NFL stadiums. Furthermore, Harbaugh <a href="https://x.com/jamisonhensley/status/1965132366026011087" rel="noopener">broke his silence</a> on the altercation, according to a post on X by Jamison Hensley.</p><p>“John Harbaugh on Lamar Jackson’s altercation with the fan: “It’s unfortunate that you should even be in that situation. I don’t know how any of us would respond in that moment. I think it’d be something we’d probably be thinking about protecting ourselves. I do think that.”</p><p>Fortunately, the NFL stepped in <a href="https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1965112979223183451?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1965112979223183451%7Ctwgr%5E6df9e7f0a1a710722aa3d695cb6cff8950db28c3%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fclutchpoints.com%2Fnfl%2Fbuffalo-bills%2Fbills-news-fan-lamar-jackson-altercation-banned-nfl-stadiums" rel="noopener">hard and heavy</a>, according to a post on X by Adam Schefter.</p><p>“The fan who shoved Ravens WR DeAndre Hopkins, and then got shoved by QB Lamar Jackson, has been “indefinitely banned from Bills and NFL stadiums”, per a team official. The fan had been ejected after the shove Sunday night.”</p><h2><b>Ravens HC John Harbaugh must help team regroup</b></h2><p>Among the things Harbaugh needs to do is deal with Jackson, whose response <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/columnist/bell/2025/09/08/ravens-lamar-jackson-fan-slap/86036877007/" rel="noopener">wasn’t a good look</a> from a team or NFL standpoint. Jackson seemed contrite about the issue, according to USA Today.</p><p>“He slapped me,” Jackson said during his postgame news conference following a stunning 41-40 defeat. “He was steadily talking. So, I forgot where I was.”</p><p>Jackson said he should have responded differently.</p><p>“You’ve got to think in those situations,” he said. “You’ve got security out there. Let security handle it. But I just let my [emotions] get the best of me. Hopefully, it’ll never happen again.”</p><p>Jackson said it won’t make him shy away from fans in the future, according to ESPN.</p><p>“I’ve never seen our fans do that,” Jackson said. “So, I’ll probably do it again when we score a touchdown. It’s not nothing against the fans. I’m just celebrating when my teammates get a touchdown.”</p><p>The Ravens will try to bounce back against division foe Cleveland this Sunday. The Lions, Chiefs, and Texans are on the schedule for the following three weeks. So beating the Browns seems like a must-win situation.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
