Lamar Jackson had a stellar 2019 season with Baltimore Ravens. The dual-threat QB started his rookie season as a backup to Joe Flacco but replaced him after the latter suffered an injury in 2018.
He led the Ravens to the 2019 NFL playoffs. Lamar Jackson became the youngest quarterback to start in a playoff game but failed to lead his team to last year’s Super Bowl in Miami.
Despite that, Lamar was unanimously voted as the NFL MVP for 2019 ahead of Kansas City Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes. The 23-year old boasts a pass completion percentage of 63.7 with 4,328 passing yards. He rushed for 1,901 yards and registered 12 rushing TDs over the course of his first two seasons with the Ravens.
The Louisville-graduate has 19 wins in 22 NFL starts. However, stats aside, the youngster is also known for his hard work and dedication. He’s adored by his teammates and helps build camaraderie amongst all members on the Ravens roster.
Lamar has just one year left on his rookie contract. He will be up for extension talks with the Ravens towards the end of the 2020 season. Mahomes’ mammoth 10-year contract will certainly pave the way for Lamar’s negotiations with Jon Harbaugh’s Baltimore Ravens. Will the 2016 Heisman Trophy winner land a bigger deal than Patrick Mahomes?
