Baltimore Ravens: QB Lamar Jackson

The reigning MVP of the league has to be the projected MVP of his own team right? Lamar Jackson put up video game numbers in 2019 with 1,206 rushing yards and seven rushing touchdowns to go along with 3,217 yards through the air and 36 passing touchdowns.

He was just the second quarterback in the history of the NFL to rush for over 1,000 yards and the first since Michael Vick accomplished the feat in 2006.

Jackson electrified the league in his sophomore season and quickly established as one of the best young quarterbacks in the league. He gives the Ravens an identity as a hard-nosed that can run the football at will but also tear you apart through the air.

The only thing missing on his resume at the moment is a playoff victory, but he should be able to deliver on that and much more if his career continues on the same trajectory. He will be aided by the new weapons the Ravens have added this summer and will have even more chances to prove he is not just an elite runner, but an elite passer as well.
