Lamar Jackson lit up the league in 2019. The youngster burst onto the main stage in his second season with Baltimore Ravens as they outplayed the rest of the league and made the playoffs. The Florida-born athlete became the first quarterback in NFL history to throw for 3,000+ yards and 1,000+ yards in the same season. His efforts earned him the NFL MVP award ahead of Super Bowl-winning QB, Patrick Mahomes. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Jackson.jpg] Another youngster to impress was Arizona Cardinals’ shot-caller Kyler Murray. Just like Jackson, Murray is also a former Heisman Trophy winner. The striking similarity between these two quarterbacks is that they are both dual-threats in the middle.

The young safety is one of the up-and-coming players in the league. He was drafted by the Miami Dolphins in 2018. However, he jumped ship to the Pittsburgh Steelers the next year midway through the season. He was traded by the Dolphins in exchange for Steelers’ first-round pick (Austin Jackson), 2020 fifth round, and 2021 sixth-round draft picks. The 23-year-old spoke [https://twitter.com/nflnetwork/status/1293200501811666944?s=20] about how it was difficult to defend against the likes of Lamar Jackson and Kyler Murray. The Steelers and the Ravens share a strong rivalry between them. The two teams are slated to clash this season. With Ben Roethlisberger back in the team, it will be interesting to see if the Ravens can hold on to their spot at the top of the AFC North Division. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/kyler_murray.jpg] The former Oklahoma Sooners man had a decent rookie season with the Cardinals. He finished 2019 with 3,722 passing yards, 20 passing touchdowns against 12 interceptions. He was also adjudged as Offensive Rookie of the Year. The arrival of former Houston Texans wide receiver, DeAndre Hopkins, in Arizona will benefit Murray in 2020. Can the promising youngster live up to expectations this season?

Who is Lamar Jackson? Lamar Demeatrice Jackson Jr. is a quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens in the National Football Conference. He was drafted in the first round of the 2018 NFL draft (32nd overall pick) after he claimed the Heisman Trophy, during his sophomore year. In his rookie season, Lamar Jackson led the team to the playoffs. Alas! They were met with a setback against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Mandatory Credit: Evan Habeeb-USA TODAY Sports| Reuters Given his prowess on the field, he won NFL MVP in 2019â€”his second season in the league. This allowed him to become the fourth African-American quarterback to win this accolade. Additionally, Lamar Jackson became the first quarterback to boast 1,000 rushing yards in multiple seasons as he led the Ravens to their third consecutive playoff appearance, post the NFL MVP title. A random fact about the Ravens&#8217; QB is that Lamar Jackson&#8217;s favorite pregame meal is shrimp Alfredo pasta and that he has been the Madden 21 cover athlete. Lamar Jacksonâ€™s early life Lamar Demeatrice Jackson Jr. was born on January 7, 1997, in Pompano Beach, Florida to Lamar Jackson Sr. and Felicia Jones. The family, comprising Lamar, his younger brother Jamar, and two sisters, shared a tight-knit relationship, despite belonging to a financially distressed neighborhood. Tragedy struck the Jacksons when Lamar Jackson Sr. died in a car accident when the quarterback was only eight years old. To add salt to the wound, his grandmother also passed away on the same day, making that episode one of the most traumatic ones in LJ&#8217;s life. Lamar and his siblings were brought up by a single mother, Felicia Jones. And the quarterback shares a unique bond with her mother. This highlights Felicia&#8217;s role in Lamar Jackson&#8217;s profession as an agent who helps with contract structuring.

The passer led the Cardinals to an 8-5 season in his 2015 freshman year.Â Lamar passed for 1840 yards scoring 12 touchdowns. Also, he ran for an additional 11 rushing TDs over 960 yards. Lamar earned the 2015 Music City Bowl MVP award and set the passing yardage and touchdown record for the Bowl game. Jackson&#8217;s sophomore year was the stuff of dreams. His 3543 passing yards, 30 touchdowns, 1571 rushing yards, and 21 rushing touchdowns for a 9-4 Cardinals season were enough to earn him the 2016 Heisman Trophy over finalists and future NFL stars like Deshaun Watson and Baker Mayfield. Jackson became the first-ever Heisman Winner from Louisville and the youngest winner in the award&#8217;s history, winning it at 19.

Lamar didn&#8217;t take too long to adjust to the big league. After subbing in for injured starter Joe Flacco during a 47-3 win against the Bills, Lamar never had to look back. Winning six of the seven games he started, a 21-year-old Lamar became the youngest NFL quarterback to play in the postseason. Although the season ended with a 23-17 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, Lamar came back stronger in year 2. In 2019, Lamar Jackson became the second unanimous NFL MVP afterÂ Tom BradyÂ in 2010. And he did this by playing some mind-boggling football. Setting career-highs in single-game passing yards (324) and touchdowns (5) in the season-opener against Miami, Action Jackson looked like a force to be feared right from the start. Jackson continued his form in the 2020-21 season, becoming the first quarterback to have multiple 1000-yard rushing seasons. Despite injuries factoring in during the following two seasons, Jackson made his second Pro Bowl in 2021. In 2022, Jackson once again showed glimpses of the 2019 season when he bagged the AFC Offensive Player of the Month in September. However, a sprained PCL brought the season to an end for Jackson. The Ravens, despite going 10-7 lost to AFC North rivalsÂ Cincinnati BengalsÂ in the first round of the playoffs. Lamar Jackson has taken the Ravens to the playoffs five times since joining them. However, the dynamic quarterback often fails to carry the stellar regular season form into the postseason. LJ has a postseason record of 2-4, although technically, he did not play in the 2022 playoffs. His recent loss came against the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship round with a score of 17-10.Â  Lamar Jackson&#8217;s contracts In 2023, Lamar Jackson signed a $260 million contract with the Baltimore Ravens, making him the highest-paid NFL player after surpassing Jalen Hurts of the Eagles. This contract allowed him to earn $52 million with $185 million guaranteed. Astonishingly, the million-dollar contract was almost twenty-three folds higher than the contract he signed when he was first drafted. In 2018, as Lamar Jackson signed a 4-year deal with the Ravens it was worth $9.5 million. It included a $4,968,471 signing bonus and $7,575,059 guaranteed. This contract worth millions was a total shocker in the NFL realm as it was only the first time in league history that a football player accumulated the amount without an agent. Jackson had his mom with him at the negotiation table. Another interesting aspect of Lamar Jackson&#8217;s contract is that, before the 2022 NFL season, he was offered a deal worth $230 million with over $100 million guaranteed. However, the quarterback took a step back from the deal as he believed his worth to be much more than that, especially after Deshaun Watson got that number in guaranteed money from the Cleveland Browns. And he did prove to be right as right after signing the extension in the 2023 NFL offseason, the Ravens&#8217; QB went on to have one of his best seasons since 2019. Not only did Lamar Jackson have his career-high 3,678 passing yards but his completion percentage was also 67.2. Lamar Jacksonâ€™s partnerships and endorsements Being without an agent has its drawbacks and Lamar Jackson&#8217;s endorsement deals are proof for the same. While arguably the best-ever running QB of the NFL should be at the forefront of many deals, there are far fewer contracts held by him. Some of his current contracts include: Play Action Soulfood and More Oakley Inc. NFL Pro Era Oakley is a company that deals with football apparel like football helmets and sunglasses. Meanwhile, Play Action is a soul food restaurant chain and NFL Pro Era projects a VR simulation series with Jackson in its first NFL and NFLPA licensed series.Â  Apart from these, Lamar Jackson has also featured in numerous commercials.
