Despite already winning two NFL MVP awards and earning three All-Pro first-team honors in seven seasons, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson insists his journey is far from over. Following his first training camp practice ahead of the 2025 season, Jackson told reporters he is just beginning to tap into his potential, signaling continued growth in his NFL career.
Impressive Career Milestones Highlight Jackson’s Rise
Jackson’s accomplishments place him among an elite group of players. He is one of only 11 NFL athletes to have multiple MVP titles and ranks as one of eight quarterbacks in the Super Bowl era with at least three All-Pro first-team distinctions. His three All-Pro selections surpass Patrick Mahomes’ two, underlining Jackson’s impact as a top-tier quarterback in the league. Although Mahomes holds more Super Bowl wins and appearances, Jackson’s achievements signal a promising trajectory.
Record-Breaking Passer Performance and Versatility
Last season marked Jackson’s best performance as a passer, as he threw for 4,172 yards and 41 touchdowns. His passer rating of 119.6 stands as the fourth-highest in NFL history. Additionally, Jackson made history by becoming the first player to pass for over 4,000 yards and rush for more than 900 yards in the same season, showcasing his unique dual-threat ability as a quarterback.
Close Playoff Calls Fuel Ravens’ Determination
The Baltimore Ravens have come close to advancing further in the playoffs recently, losing their last two postseason games by a combined nine points. Most notably, their 2024 postseason ended with a narrow loss in the AFC Divisional Round, when a potential game-tying two-point conversion was dropped by Mark Andrews in the final minutes against the Buffalo Bills.
Strong 2025 Outlook Positions Ravens for Super Bowl Contention
With the competitive intensity of the AFC rising, the Ravens enter the 2025 season with arguably the best roster in the conference, led by Jackson. The team appears well equipped to compete at the highest level, aiming to overcome recent playoff hurdles and make a serious push for the Super Bowl title, provided circumstances align favorably.
