Back in 2018, the Baltimore Ravens [https://www.essentiallysports.com/nfl-news-watch-lamar-jackson-makes-a-mockery-of-college-defenses-with-louisville-cardinals/] lost their playoff tie to the Los Angeles Chargers. Obviously they were devastated, but quarterback Lamar Jackson was not going to take the loss lying down. Recently, teammate Willie Snead [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willie_Snead] spoke about that crushing defeat and how Jackson reacted to it. Suffice to say, Jackson was more fired up than devastated, and he swore to return to the playoffs even stronger. In his words, “Man, I’m about to get so much better from this. I’m going to take everything to the next level”. Fighting words from a talented quarterback, and now the onus is on Jackson to put money where his mouth is. In addition to that, he also has to ensure that his team backs him up. LAMAR JACKSON IS DETERMINED TO TAKE THE RAVENS TO NEW HEIGHTS Snead revealed that Jackson’s fighting talk came long before he was considered for MVP status and before the hype built. Lamar Jackson declared that he needed to work on playing better and throwing better. At that time, he entered the team halfway through the season and played raw football. It was at that moment that Willie Snead realized what kind of player Jackson was. A player of that calibre is certainly harbouring dreams of winning the Superbowl and the NFL championship. Jackson is so good that he has caught the eye of nearly every coach. One thing that they admire most about him is his pinpoint accuracy. According to The Athletic, “The thing not talked about enough with Jackson is his jump in accuracy. He worked so hard to get more accurate. It wasn’t a little more accurate—it was a lot more accurate. Coaches around the league marvel about his accuracy and how much he jumped last year. He has gone through the ceiling because of his work ethic.”

Lamar Jackson

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. Oct 24, 2021; Baltimore, Maryland, USA; Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (8) throws a pass in the third quarter against the Cincinnati Bengals at M&amp;T Bank Stadium. 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.

Astonishingly, per reports, at the mere age of 8, Jackson was able to throw a football up to 20 yards. After public school, Lamar Jackson joined his Florida high school team which helped him change the trajectory of his career. Lamar Jackson&#8217;s personal life Jackson is relatively private about his personal affairs. However, he has been in a relationship with Louisville&#8217;s sweetheart, Jaime Taylor, for almost six years. Not many details are revealed about Jaime Taylor, except that the two went to the same high school. However, they reportedly met at the University of Louisville and have been together ever since. Additional information concerning Lamar Jackson&#8217;s girlfriend is that she is an ardent Harry Potter fan, due to this, Lamar Jackson even wore a Harry Potter costume once during Halloween to surprise her. Furthermore, Lamar Jackson also has a daughter named Milan. Reportedly, she has taken her dad&#8217;s surnameâ€”Jackson. The adorable child was born on January 4, 2021. Even though Lamar Jackson is a rather private individual on social media, a couple of times he has uploaded pictures of his daughter including on her birthday. While sources are revealing Jaime Taylor to be the mother of Milan (nicknamed Lani by Lamar Jackson), it has not been confirmed either by Jackson or Taylor. Also, no information regarding their marriage or a possible webbing has made the news. Lamar Jackson&#8217;s net worth 2024 Lamar Jackson is an NFL quarterback who is currently a part of the Baltimore Ravens roster. Lovingly nicknamed &#8216;Action Jackson&#8217; by his fans, Lamar Jackson is slated to be one of the greatest quarterbacks of his generation. Thus, it is not surprising to witness his net worth to be more than $40 million, per Celebrity Net Worth. All thanks to the whopping $260 million contract he signed last year, Lamar Jackson&#8217;s net worth has skyrocketed. His average annual salary is estimated to be around $52 million. In the 2023-2024 season, this amount is estimated to come close to $80 million, all thanks to the massive $72.5 million signing bonus received by Lamar Jackson. This boasted his base salary to $7.5 million. While the numbers do vouch in favor of Lamar Jackson, his commitment to the underserved is also noteworthy. In 2018, Jackson held autograph signings in Louisville, which received charitable donations of $29,000. Out of this, $25,000 was given to Blessings in Backpacks and the remaining went to Mission for Hope. The quarterback helps empower the less privileged youth to excel in education and athletics through mentorship and means at his The Lamar Jackson Foundation.Â Other than that, Lamar Jackson was captured donating turkeys during the Thanksgiving holidays and supporting the COVID-19 relief efforts. His primary source of income is his football career. However, endorsement deals and investments have also helped boost the net worth of Lamar Jackson.  Lamar Jackson&#8217;s career timeline Lamar Jackson went to Boynton Beach High School in Florida. During his two years of quarterbacking them, Lamar played a total of 16 games, throwing for 2263 yards and 31 touchdowns, and running for 1624 yards and 22 touchdowns. Due to his simultaneous contributions to the school&#8217;s track team, where he posted a personal-best 11.45 seconds in a 100m dash, Lamar was awarded the Lou Groza Palm Beach County High School Player of the Year Title in 2014. And this stellar read-option and dual-threat display caught the attention of multiple college programs from all over the country. Action Jackson chose Louisville over some competing Power Five programs like Florida and Auburn. Lamar Jackson joined Louisville as a communication major and quickly made his mark on the gridiron. 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.

(Photo by Wesley Hitt/Getty Images) His excellence on the field continued in college, which eventually, helped him secure a place in the first round in the 2018 NFL Draft with the Ravens. 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.
