Lamar Jackson: 2024 NFL MVP

Lamar Jackson has posted numbers that not only challenge his previous MVP seasons but also set new benchmarks in quarterback performance.

• 4,172 passing yards

• 41 passing touchdowns with just 4 interceptions

• A passer rating of 119.6, the 4th highest in NFL History

His rushing performance was equally remarkable, with 915 rushing yards and 4 rushing touchdowns, leading all quarterbacks in yards on the ground.

Remember when they thought this dude wasn’t even going to be a Quarterback in the NFL?

The Ravens' success this season can largely be attributed to Jackson's playmaking. With a tough schedule, Jackson's performances kept Baltimore competitive, securing a record of 11-5. His leadership was instrumental in overcoming a pass defense that ranked towards the middle of the league due to a poor start of the season - once Kyle Hamilton changed positions the tides changed for the Ravens’ defense.

Lamar Jackson's narrative this season adds to his compelling case for another MVP. He became the first quarterback in NFL history to achieve over 4,000 passing yards and 900 rushing yards in a single season, a testament to his unique skill set and impact on the game. His journey this year, overcoming team challenges, underlines his value not just statistically but in terms of team leadership and resilience.
