Lamar Jackson, born Lamar Demeatrice Jackson Jr. on 7 January 1997 in Pompano Beach, Florida, is an American football quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens and the defining dual-threat quarterback of his generation. At the University of Louisville he won the Heisman Trophy in 2016, becoming the youngest winner in the award's history at the time and the first Cardinal to claim it. Baltimore selected him with the final pick of the first round, 32nd overall, in the 2018 NFL Draft, and he became the starter during his rookie season. In 2019, his first full season as a starter, he led the NFL in touchdown passes, set the single-season rushing record for a quarterback, and was voted NFL Most Valuable Player unanimously. He won a second MVP award for the 2023 season, when he led Baltimore to the AFC Championship Game, and in 2024 he set career highs in passing and became the NFL's all-time leader in rushing yards by a quarterback. He remained Baltimore's starting quarterback in the 2026 season.
