. Lamar Jackson. 4. player. 26. .

Lamar Jackson is one of the most exciting players in the NFL when healthy. Not only that, but he is also one of the most valuable. 7-5 under Lamar Jackson’s watch, they were 1-4 without him. Already having won an MVP in his young career, he is the engine that makes the Ravens’ offense go. Without him, for a full season, they very likely would have a top-five pick.

Now it was not all perfect for the young star in 2021. While he did throw for 2,882 yards and sixteen touchdowns in twelve games, he also threw thirteen interceptions. That total was by far the most in his young career. He did, however, rush for an incredible 767 yards over that time frame proving his dual-threat prowess.

No team dealt with more injuries than the Baltimore Ravens in 2021. With their top two running backs out, key members of the offensive line, and several wide receivers, it was a tough year for Lamar Jackson. If the injuries can hold off slightly in 2022, Lamar Jackson will once again show the NFL his elite talent.
