Lamar Jackson, the star quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, has added another accolade to his list of achievements. He has been named the AP NFL Most Valuable Player for the second time in his career. The award was presented to him on February 8th at the Resort's World in Las Vegas, just days before the Super Bowl.
This is not the first time Jackson has won this prestigious award. He also won it after the 2019 season. The vote was almost unanimous, with Jackson receiving 49 out of 50 first-place votes. The only other player to receive a first-place vote was Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills, who finished in fifth place overall. Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys came in second, followed by Christian McCaffrey of the San Francisco 49ers in third, and Brock Purdy of the 49ers in fourth.
Despite this impressive achievement, Jackson's ultimate goal is to win a Super Bowl championship. In fact, he stated that he would rather send in a video to win the MVP award than be present to accept it, as his true desire is to be playing in the Super Bowl.
At just 27 years old, Jackson became the second-youngest player to win multiple MVP awards, according to NFL.com. The only player younger than him to achieve this feat was Jim Brown of the Cleveland Browns, who won two MVP awards before turning 23. Jackson was able to accomplish this at a young age due to being younger than Brett Favre of the Green Bay Packers and Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs when they won their two MVP awards.
Unfortunately, Jackson and the Ravens fell short of their Super Bowl goal this year, losing to Mahomes and the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game two weeks ago. Despite this disappointment, they still had an impressive record of 14-5, making them the best team in the NFL.
In conclusion, Lamar Jackson's talent and hard work have earned him another well-deserved Most Valuable Player award. While he may have missed out on a Super Bowl championship this year, there is no doubt that he will continue to strive for greatness in the future.
