Will Lamar Jackson’s Weight Loss Propel Him to a 3rd NFL MVP?

A Lighter, Faster Lamar Jackson

Are we about to witness the best version of Lamar Jackson in 2024? The off-season buzz in Baltimore has been all about their NFL MVP quarterback’s significant weight loss. A few seasons ago, Jackson bulked up with some serious muscle mass. However, over the past two years, he has reportedly shed 25 pounds, bringing him back to his 2019 MVP weight. That year, Jackson rushed for over 1,200 yards, setting the single-season record for quarterbacks and leading the Ravens to an NFL-best 14 wins.

A Historic Rushing Mark

Currently, Jackson’s over/under for rushing yards in the upcoming season is set at approximately 725.5 yards. This is a mark he has surpassed every season since becoming a starter, even in the two seasons where he only played 12 games due to injury. Jackson’s consistent ability to break defenses with his legs makes him a perpetual threat on the ground.

Breaking Records and Chasing MVPs

Could this newly slimmed-down version of Lamar Jackson break his own record for quarterback rush yards in a season? The prospect is certainly tantalizing. Jackson’s renewed speed and agility could see him shattering his previous records and perhaps securing his third MVP award. His dynamic play style, combined with his leadership on the field, positions him as a key player to watch this season.

The Ravens’ Offensive Potential

The blend of his rushing prowess and passing ability makes him a dual-threat that defenses will struggle to contain.
