Lamar Demeatrice Jackson Jr. (born January 7, 1997) is an American football quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Louisville Cardinals, where he won the Heisman Trophy during his sophomore year, and was selected by the Ravens as the final first round pick of the 2018 NFL draft. Jackson became the Ravens' starting quarterback in his rookie season after an injury to incumbent Joe Flacco and clinched a division title with the team, also becoming the youngest NFL quarterback to start a playoff game at age 21.[1]
A dual-threat quarterback, Jackson led the 2019 season in touchdown passes while setting the single-season record in rushing yards at the position.[2][3][4] For his success, he became the second unanimous Most Valuable Player (MVP)[5][6][7] and the fourth African-American quarterback to win the award.[a][8] Jackson followed up his MVP campaign by becoming the first quarterback to have multiple seasons with 1,000 rushing yards and led the Ravens to a third consecutive playoff appearance.[9] Following the 2022 season, he signed a five-year contract worth $260 million.[10] In 2023, Jackson led the Ravens to the top seed in the conference and was named the NFL MVP for the second time.
