Ravens QB Lamar Jackson was named the Associated Press 2023 Most Valuable Player of the Year Thursday night at the NFL Honors show.
This is the second MVP award for Jackson with his prior one coming back in 2019.
Jackson, 26, is a former first-round pick of the Ravens back in 2018. He played out the fourth year of his four-year, $9,471,652 contract that included a $5,968,472 signing bonus.
The Ravens picked up Jackson’s fifth-year option that cost them $23 million fully guaranteed for the 2022 season. He was due to be an unrestricted free agent in 2023 when the Ravens used the non-exclusive franchise tag at a cost of $32.3 million fully guaranteed.
Baltimore later signed Jackson to a five-year, $260 million extension.
In 2023, Jackson appeared in 16 games for the Ravens and completed 67.2 percent of his passes for 3,678 yards, 24 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He also rushed for 821 yards and five touchdowns.
