It was surely a very memorable day for the Baltimore Ravens quarterback, Lamar Jackson, as on Saturday, the Louisville alma mater got his Number 8 Football Jersey retired from the LSU Tigers. We can certainly term him as one of the greatest football players to set foot in the NCAA. Hoards of fans and students crowding the Cardinals stadium attended the ceremony. The event was so colossal in scale that it caught the attention of many prominent sports figures, one of them being the NBA superstar LeBron James. He was mesmerized by the imposing legacy that the quarterback had established back in his day. LEBRON JAMES ON LAMAR JACKSON LeBron took to Twitter to express his enthusiasm for the honor and recognition that the Ravens quarterback has received. He tweeted [https://twitter.com/kingjames/status/1459708368487022595?s=24], “So!! Congrats Young King @Lj_era8,“ filled in with a bunch of emoticons in between. Also Read: Aaron Rodgers Returns to Action for Green Bay Packers vs Seattle Seahawks [https://www.essentiallysports.com/nfl-news-aaron-rodgers-returns-to-action-for-green-bay-packers-vs-seattle-seahawks/] Lamar Jackson has earned the respect of the Lakers star LeBron James [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lebron-james/] by being a Cardinals legend during his three-year tenure in Louisville. James has also lauded the quarterback for his accountability following the Ravens’ loss to the Raiders this season. JACKSON WITH AN ASTONISHING NCAA LEGACY Lamar Jackson [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lamar-jackson/] made himself a household name during his days with the Cardinals as he used to electrify crowds with his mesmerizing playmaking skills, posing as a dual threat to the opponent as a passer and a rusher. He also received the Heisman Trophy during his sophomore year and became the first-ever Cardinal to win the award. He evidently continued his dynamism even after he started playing for the Baltimore Ravens [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/baltimore-ravens/] in the NFL. Which made him receive the MVP honor in just his second season. The Ravens quarterback got very emotional as he saw his No. 8 Jersey become immortal right in front of him. And as on Saturday, Lamar became just the second football player ever in Louisville to get his jersey retired, and keeping in mind his remarkable contributions to the Cardinals [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/basketball-2/college-basketball/louisville-cardinals/], he earns every bit.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Baltimore Ravens 2022: News, Schedule, Roster, Score, Injury Report</h2>
The Baltimore Ravens are one of the newer teams in the NFL and play as part of the AFC North division. They joined the NFL after <a href="https://www.cleveland.com/ohio-sports-blog/2017/04/cleveland_browns_move_to_balti.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">moving</a> from Cleveland to set up an extension franchise in the NFL’s now-defunct AFC Central division, ahead of the 1996 NFL season. 
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-389041" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200924211230/1200px-Baltimore_Ravens_logo.svg.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="591" />
The move saw the city of Baltimore return to the NFL after a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100211225719/http://www.baltimoreravens.com/News/History/Baltimore_Football_History.aspx#1946" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">dozen</a> years out. Their spell initially ended when the Baltimore Colts relocated to Indiana ahead of the 1984 NFL season. With a newly rebranded team, the city got behind the players wholeheartedly and stuck with them in their four seasons of struggle. 
The third season (1998 NFL season) saw Baltimore Ravens <a href="https://www.stadiumsofprofootball.com/stadiums/mt-bank-stadium/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">move</a> from the historic Memorial Stadium where the Colts played for 30 years to the new M&amp;T Bank Stadium. 
Following the relocation, the team’s fortunes turned, and their three-season losing run ended. They finished the <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/rav/1999/gamelog/">1999</a> NFL season at 8-8 and in the next campaign; they proved to the league and the country that it wasn’t just a flash in the pan. 
The Ravens placed second in the AFC North and proceeded to the playoffs with a 11-5 overall record. The franchise won the Wildcard Round Playoffs against the Tennessee Titans 20-13. However, they would fall in the Division Playoffs to the Bills.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Baltimore Ravens Achievements</h2>
The Ravens have excelled in their short time in the NFL with six divisional titles, two conference championships, and two Super Bowl wins. 
Their first Super Bowl win as Baltimore Ravens came in the <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/rav/2000/gamelog/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">2000</a> NFL season. The Ravens cobbled a 12-4 record and finished in the six-team AFC Central behind Tennessee Titans. 
Over the course of the regular season, the team made waves over its robust defense that allowed opposing offenses to advance just 970 yards. They conceded just five rushing touchdowns, which stands as a <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/play-index/tiny.fcgi?id=IyzVf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">record</a> for a 16-game NFL season. 
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-389039" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200924211100/supa-biwl.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="618" />
In the Playoffs, the Ravens’ defense remained imperious, and only the Titans who played them in the divisional round could reach double digits.
 On January 28, 2001, Baltimore decimated New York Giants 34-7 at Super Bowl <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200101280nyg.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">XXXV</a>. Linebacker Ray Lewis claimed the Super Bowl MVP award. He would go on to feature in the franchise's second Vincent Lombardi Trophy win a dozen years later. 
The win was the genesis of the team’s rise in the NFL. They did not fade away and remained a <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/rav/index.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">consistent</a> feature in the NFL Playoffs. The Baltimore Ravens have made it past the regular season in 11 of the next 19 seasons, following the Super Bowl triumph. 

<h2 style="text-align: center">Owner Achievements</h2>
The Baltimore Ravens are owned by Steve Bisciotti. He <a href="https://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/bal-modell122099-story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">purchased</a> part of the franchise ahead of the Super Bowl-winning season in 2000. Per the terms of the purchase, he had the option to buy the Ravens outright, and Biscotti exercised the option ahead of the <a href="https://www.espn.in/nfl/news/story?id=1778585" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">2004</a> NFL season.  
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-389038" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200924211048/steve.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="600" />
He took a bold call to part ways with a Super Bowl-winning coach, but his new hire was justified. John Harbaugh came on board in the same season as Joe Flacco. The duo combined to take the Ravens to a franchise-best four successive postseason appearances and one Super Bowl for the <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/rav/2012/gamelog/">2012</a> NFL season. 

<h2 style="text-align: center">Lamar Jackson era</h2>
The Baltimore Ravens made the most of many teams passing up on a Heisman winner and drafted him at #32 overall at the 2018 NFL draft. <a href="http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lamar-jackson/">Lamar Jackson</a> possessed supreme rushing skills, and many regarded him as a running back. However, he remained steadfast on wanting to play quarterback and the team gave him a chance.

Mandatory Credit: Christopher Hanewinckel-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]
Jackson got his chance midway through the 2018 NFL campaign when <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/201302030sfo.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Super Bowl XLVII</a> MVP Joe Flacco sustained an injury. 
In the team's second season with quarterback Lamar Jackson, the team put together the best run of the NFL regular season. Their <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/rav/2019/gamelog/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">14-2</a> record had them pegged as Super Bowl favorites. However, they lost in the first playoff round. Nevertheless, the quarterback became only the second player to earn the regular season MVP award with a unanimous vote. 
The 2020 season saw Lamar Jackson aim to guide Baltimore Ravens to a third consecutive playoff appearance. His goal was to win a post-season game and lift the Vincent Lombardi Trophy. However, the Ravens fell to the Buffalo Bills in the Division Playoffs in a dismal 3-17 loss.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Baltimore Ravens Logo</h2>
The Baltimore Ravens are a relatively new franchise. Yet they have hit headlines over their logo and had to shake things up near the turn of the century. 
The issue arose as the Baltimore dweller was peeved at not getting credit for a design similar to what he had given to the franchise. 
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-389037" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200924211032/Ravens3_a62a5ccf67a6a544c82cfd224cf82e26.jpg" alt="" width="1240" height="600" />
After the jury ruled against the franchise, they elected to craft a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1999/03/01/sports/plus-pro-football-baltimore-ravens-adopt-new-logo.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">new logo</a>. The Baltimore Ravens dropped the helmet theme and adopted the crest they use even today. Chiefly, the insignia features a raven looking to the right with the gold-tinted letter 'B' plastered on the side of its head. 

<h2 style="text-align: center">Baltimore Ravens 2022 Sponsors</h2>
Morgan Properties announced a new partnership with Baltimore Ravens with an aim to increase visibility and grow awareness of its multifamily offerings among prospective Mid-Atlantic renters. Moreover, Postmates partnered up with the Ravens alongside the Los Angeles Rams. Postmates provided an assurance to deliver gameday meals throughout the season.
Leidos also came out with an announcement to partner up with the Ravens to spread awareness about the ongoing opioid epidemic through the 'Tackling Opioid Addiction' campaign. For every tackle made during the regular season, Leidos and the Ravens will donate $50 towards Baltimore area nonprofit organizations.

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.

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.

The Ravens defeated the Titans 20-13. (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. 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. One of the most iconic appearances of Lamar Jackson has been in a Pizza Hut commercial, Nike, Hulu, Bose, and Oakley. His investments, mostly include start-ups. One of the known ventures of the football quarterback is in real estate. He has also bought a few properties in Baltimore including a $1.5 million mansion. Furthermore, his business savvy has witnessed him starting his own clothing line named Era 8 Apparel. This line of clothing targets men, women, and young people. Not only does it promote the style of an athlete but also partners with other clothing and non-clothing brands and companies to promote youth development. Lamar Jackson&#8217;s career stats and records Lamar Jackson has an impressive number of 15,887 passing yards to show on his resume. In 2,112 attempts, he has 1,362 passing completions, leading to a completion rate of 64.5%. The Ravens&#8217; QB has made 125 Passing Touchdowns and 29 Rushing Touchdowns while covering 5,258 rushing yards. In the 2023 season, he gained a QB rating of 64.7, which ranked him fourth in the NFL. His passer rating post the latest season is at 98.0. Lamar Jackson has been able to garner multiple records to his name ever since he entered the National Football League. He holds the record of being the first quarterback with multiple 1000-yard rushing seasons (2009, 2020). He also is the first QB with five 700+ rushing yards seasons in a career (2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023). He also became the first player in 2019 to reach 3000 passing yards and 1000 rushing yards in a single season. Jackson hosts the record for most rushing yards by a QB in a season: 1,206 (2019) and most rushing attempts by a QB in a season: 159 (2019).

The Ravens defeated the Cardinals 24-17. (Credits: Getty Images) He has the most perfect passer ratings in a season, tied with Ben Roethisberger- 2 in 2019. LJ also holds the most wins by a QB under the age of 25 (35 victories). He has his name etched on the astonishing record of being the youngest QB to achieve a perfect passer rating, at the age of 22 years and 244 days. He also has most games with 100 rushing yards by a QB (12) along with most playoff games with 100 rushing yards by a quarterback (3). The Ravens captain boasts enormous records for his franchise as well. He holds the most passing and rushing yards by a QB in a game for Ravens, 442 and 152 respectively. He also has the most passing TDs in a single season at 36. He is tied with legendary Joe Flacco and Tony Banks for most passing touchdowns in a game(5). The record for most consecutive games with a touchdown pass for the Baltimore side also is with Jackson at 15. His exceptional season in 2019 brings him 2 more spectacular records. He has the highest completion percentage in a game at 88.2 and the highest passer rating at 113.3 in the same season. The season of 2019 also brings him the lowest percentage of passes intercepted at 1.5. Lamar Jackson&#8217;s house and car collection With over $32 million in estimated earnings over the years, Action Jackson has splurged a million and more on a lavish mansion in the suburban outskirts of Baltimore, just 20 minutes from the Baltimore Ravens facility. When it comes to cars, Lamar owns a modified Mercedes SL500 Grand Edition worth nearly $275,000 and recently purchased a Rolls Royce Wraith that set him back by $343,000. Action Jackson also likes the bling as he spends quite a lot on pendants and jewelry for himself and his family. How to contact Lamar Jackson?

LeBron James&#8217; house LeBron James has reiterated multiple times that he does not spend his hard-earned money without reason.

The luxury car goes from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds and is valued at around $505,000. LeBron James&#8217; controversial moments LeBron James has not had any major controversies so far. However, there have been a few questionable moments in his career. James was the centerpiece of controversy during his high school career for accepting gifts. Then his infamous move to the Miami Heat in 2010, announced on national television, stirred up a lot of controversy. James, who is very vocal about his political beliefs, was criticized for his association with Nike because of the brand&#8217;s political stance. Also, his comments on America after Brittney Griner&#8217;s detainment in Russia sparked some controversy. Will LeBron James retire? LeBron James, 39, is currently playing his 21st NBA season in the NBA. The future Hall of Famer is still playing at the highest level, but he is definitely at the tail end of his career. However, the Lakers icon will not retire after the 2023-24 season as he has multiple times opened up about his desire to play alongside his son Bronny James in the league. Bronny will be eligible to declare for the NBA draft next year. So there is a high chance that James may continue playing in the league until his son enters the NBA.
