To celebrate Lamar Jackson‘s 23rd birthday, we’ve put together our favorite highlights from his second season in the NFL with the Baltimore Ravens.
Lamar Jackson is undoubtedly the most exciting player in the NFL. Whether he’s running around with his legs or slinging it as a passer, Jackson has lived up to his nickname “Action” and has taken the NFL by storm. The man is likely your 2019 NFL MVP.
As a rookie, Jackson started seven games, winning six of them. Jackson became the youngest quarterback to ever start a playoff game after guiding the Baltimore Ravens to a 10-6 record and AFC North crown. The Ravens ultimately lost in the opening round to the Los Angeles Chargers, but there was a lot to be excited about.
Saying that Lamar Jackson played well in 2019 is the understatement of the century, as his development from year-one to year-two was astonishing. Jackson would lead the league in both passing touchdowns (36) and total touchdowns (43) while becoming the first player in the history of the league to pass for over 3,000-yards and rush for over 1,200-yards.
Because of that, Jackson is perhaps the face of the league and is as likable as they come.
With Jackson turning 23-years old today, we want to take a couple of moments to reflect on the remarkable season he’s had and enjoy some highlights. Here’s to you, Mr. Jackson, and to the bright future you have in this league!
