Jarret Johnson retiring...

[Raven552]

I loved JJ... I can't watch this hit on Hines Ward enough..

 

[redrum52]

Just saw the news too.  Always will be a Raven to me and sad we couldn't have gotten him a ring.

Wish him well, that Hines Ward hit was one of my favorite Ravens moments

[Tenacious Faulker]

The 33 y/o OLB announced it today via Instagram. Hopefully he ends up retiring a Raven after spending 3 years building the Chargers defense in the Ravens image.

He finished his career with 505 total tackles, 25.5 sacks, 3 INTs, 11 Forced Fumbles, and had Ravens record 129 consecutive starts.

Missed out on a ring with us by one year.  IMO one of the most underrated draft picks Ozzie has ever made - played in 184 of a possible 192 games during his career.

Jarret was willing to do the dirty-work for other front seven players to shine. Just great examples of why I'll always have fond memories of JJ:

 

JJ bodies Ward

 

JJ wrecks Ward

[Clmraven]

One of the most under rated players in Ravens history, hope he gets in the ring of honor, he was a true raven in every aspect of the meaning.

Sent Hines Ward to retirement lol

[The Raven]

As much as I was an advocate for letting him go, he was one of my favorite Ravens. He plays the game the way it was meant to be played, and we've missed his physicality at times since we let him go. 

[rmw10]

Even though it had to happen and it was completely expected, I was sad to see him go.  He's one of those players that is a true embodiment of what it means to be a Raven.

[Ravenseconbeast]

Key player in the cog.

Players like jarrett and kelly were pieces that put rest of the talents to shine.

Good for him.   Hopefully he is retiring fully healthy.   He was one of my favorite players as well.  Enjoy your time off I-95.  You earned it.

Okay what am I missing here ?

[K-Dog]

I-95 one of my favorite Ravens.

 

I believe he is retiring pretty healthy.  Good for you J.J.  Enjoy your self.

Forced fumbles. Abbreviated, it becomes something the filter catches.

[Tank 92]

It would be cool to see him come back and do some Ravens TV and/or radio. He always did a great job on his Monday morning radio spot on 98 Rock. Definitely one of the Good Guys.

[K-Dog]

After watching that video I just gotta say....

"Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeed "

Sorry back on topic.

[AsianRice]

We should give him a ring of Honor....

 

JJ, thanks for 9 years of truly representing Ravens football.....

[codizzle]

Double J.. One of my fav's just for the ward hits

But not getting into ROH... No way

[Bltravens]

A real Raven.  All that needs to be stated.  A compliment of the highest order for guys that played in this organization.

[harfordravenfan]

As others have already said; great player and one of the keys to our defense for many years

[Ravenslifer]

Had a ridiculous number of consecutive starts.  That's what I'll remember the most about him - 4th round pick but he fought for a starting spot and then kept it for almost a decade.  He started every game he could have in a Ravens uniform except 1.

[Gordo52]

*salute*

JJ has to be one of my favorite Ravens ever. I remember listening to him on 98 Rock, and he seemed like a really cool dude. He'll forever be remembered to me as one of the most underrated/under appreciated Ravens. Wish him the best.

[Guest I-70WestRaven]

Congrats. on a solid, excellent career J.J. Hard work, skill, and an exceptional player. Solid, reliable and under rated come to mind also, but real Raven will always be how I remember you. Good luck on the next faze of your life! 

[Mt. Crushmore]

One of the most underrated players to have played.  Work never showed up in the box score, but his run stuffing set the tone for the great defenses Baltimore has had.

[RavensAllTheWay]

Such a disciplined, hard worker. Not the flashiest, but epitomized our brand of football.

[usmccharles]

I got to meet him when I was stationed out in San Diego when he signed with them. He end a good friend of my captains, we all went out for drinks, pretty damn good time. I have a pic somewhere

[Ravensuperfan1]

wish he got a ring
