Baltimore Ravens left tackle Ronnie Stanley is graded as one of the top offensive lineman in the NFL.

He has also played a key role in the success of quarterback Lamar Jackson, who is having an MVP-caliber season thus far.

Stanley recently appeared on the Jim Rome Show to talk about Jackson's leadership skills and a clutch play against the Seattle Seahawks when the versatile quarterback picked up a huge first down on a third-and-8 in the fourth quarter that helped seal the 30-16 victory.

"By now, when we're in those situations, I'm pretty confident we're going to get a first down," Stanley said. "We can be in a third-and-10-plus situation and I'm still pretty confident we're going to get these yards and if we don't it's probably something we messed up.

"That's just kind of the ability Lamar gives this team ... there's a chance for something to happen on any given down."

Jackson is ranked sixth among all NFL players with 576 yards rushing with three touchdowns. He also has thrown for 1,650 yards with 11 touchdowns and five interceptions.

The Ravens sit atop the AFC North at 5-2. They have a bye before a showdown with the undefeated New England Patriots on Nov. 3 at M & T Bank Stadium.

Stanley, a first-round pick (sixth overall) in the 2016 NFL Draft, has also done his part to help the offense. He has been graded as NFL’s top left tackle and best pass blocking offensive lineman this season, according to Pro Football Focus. He has done an effective job opening the door for Jackson to make plays.

Stanley has seen Jackson's confidence grow and become more of a leader this season.

"He's done great in the leadership role," Stanley said. "He know he has to become more of a leader for this offense just based on being at the quarterback position. ... He's done a really good job of taking control of the offense and making it his own."
