“Don’t play with fireworks, Lamar”: Fan’s warning turns Ravens QB’s tweet into viral offseason buzz

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson made headlines this Independence Day, but not for his usual highlight-reel throws. Instead of posting training clips or vacation snaps like many NFL stars, Jackson took to social media with a cautionary message about fireworks.

As Fourth of July celebrations kicked off across the country, the league MVP delivered a timely reminder to fans about the dangers of pyrotechnics. His message struck a different chord this offseason, focusing on safety over stats.

Fan jab underscores Jackson’s value—and injury risks off the field

Jackson tweeted, "Yall be safe with them fireworks,” a simple PSA that quickly gained traction. But it was a fan’s humorous reply that truly lit the fuse: "Don’t play with fireworks Lamar! You’re the best RB we have.”

The comment referenced Jackson’s dual-threat playing style, and the QB fired back with a now-viral response: "Been left that alone, when I started hearing about people hands and faces being blowed off I stopped that bra.

" The exchange showed Lamar’s unfiltered charm—one reason fans stay loyal.

Jackson’s message hit deeper than expected—it was about responsibility. After posting a career-best 119.6 passer rating in 2024, he led the NFL with 41 total touchdowns while throwing just four interceptions.

His 4,172 passing yards placed him sixth among quarterbacks, reinforcing his status as one of the league’s elite. Heading into the 2025 season, Ravens fans and front office alike know how crucial his health is.

From MVP to role model: Jackson’s authentic voice resonates beyond the field

Beyond the laughs and retweets, Jackson’s message tapped into something real: responsibility. NFL players are often role models, and Jackson used his platform to highlight a real-world concern. Fireworks injuries are no joke, especially for athletes whose careers depend on their hands.
