Lamar Jackson, born on January 7, 1997, in Pompano Beach, Florida, is one of the greatest dual-threat quarterbacks the league has ever seen. As a collegiate player, he won the Heisman Trophy. He had an instant impact in the NFL as he became the youngest player in NFL history to win the league's Most Valuable Player (MVP) award in 2019. Jackson has redefined the quarterback position with his record-breaking performances, including the most rushing yards by a quarterback in a single season, breaking the record previously set by Michael Vick.
Although Jackson has proven to be a big-time player for the Baltimore Ravens over the years, he has had some difficulty when it comes to the postseason. Before the start of the 2023 NFL season, Jackson had a 1-3 playoff record. Currently, in the 2023 NFL season, Jackson has improved his passing game and also has more talent around him to make a push for a deep playoff run.
Prior to the start of the 2023 NFL season, after a lengthy holdout and public battle about his contract, Lamar Jackson signed the then-largest contract in NFL history to stay with the Baltimore Ravens. With a revamped lineup featuring the likes of Odell Beckham Jr., it is looking as if the investment is going to be worth it for the Ravens.
