Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has capped his record-breaking 2019 season with the league’s most prestigious individual award, as he has been named the NFL’s Most Valuable Player by the Associated Press. The award was announced at the NFL Honors show Feb. 1.
Jackson, 23, becomes the first Ravens player and the second-youngest ever to win the MVP award. (Jim Brown won at age 21 and 22.) Jackson won the award unanimously.
In his first full season as a starter, Jackson guided the Ravens to a franchise-record 14-2 regular season and the AFC’s No. 1 overall seeding for the first time ever. The season ended with an upset loss to the Tennessee Titans in the divisional round of the playoffs, halting a team-record 12-game winning streak.
