vmax Posted February 2, 2020 Author Posted February 2, 2020 "I'm still young," Jackson said. "I've still got a lot of work to do. I'm not really trying to dwell on what I just did. If I win a Super Bowl, you'll probably see a lot more emotion." Quote He is also the only quarterback to top the NFL in touchdown passes and finish in the top 10 in the league in rushing yards (he was sixth). To put his season in perspective, take a look at this: There have been 654 instances of a player rushing for 1,000 yards in a season. There have been 126 instances of a player throwing 30 touchdown passes in a season. There is only one instance of a player achieving both feats in the same season: Jackson in 2019.........https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/28614953/ravens-qb-lamar-jackson-unanimous-pick-nfl-mvp-historic-season Quote In the 2019 opener, Jackson threw five touchdown passes and recorded a perfect passer rating (158.3) in a 59-10 victory in Miami. Asked if he had silenced the doubters, Jackson famously responded, "Not bad for a running back." Jackson has a way of proving doubters wrong, and doing so at a record pace. At Louisville, Jackson became the youngest to win the Heisman Trophy. As a rookie in 2018, he became the youngest quarterback to start an NFL playoff game. This past season, Jackson became the youngest quarterback to start in the Pro Bowl. And on Saturday he became the youngest quarterback to win NFL MVP Quote
Spen Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 Not bad for someone who was frequently terrible and lucky to win any games.... Nice speech from him, pretty cool night Quote
oldno82 Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 And the best part is that he's a Raven and will be a superstar for years to come. Good for Harbaugh and Roman. Both certainly earned it with their revolutionary offense and the commitment to it. Quote
