Lamar Jackson of the Ravens wins his second MVP award in the NFL.
The 2023 NFL Most Valuable Player Award laureate was revealed to be the quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens. This marks Jackson’s second MVP victory in his professional career.
Jackson was one vote away from being chosen unanimously. He scored 493 points overall, earning 49 of 50 first-place votes. Josh Allen, the signal-caller for the Buffalo Bills, received the lone remaining first-place vote. Christian McCaffrey of the San Francisco 49ers placed third with 147 points, behind Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, who ended second in the vote with 152 points.
Jackson has now surpassed Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs to become the youngest two-time MVP in NFL history. 2019 saw him get his first MVP nomination.
In 2023, Jackson had the finest passing season of his career, finishing 67.2% of his throws for 3,678 yards, 24 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions. In addition, he ran for 5 touchdowns and 821 yards while guiding the Ravens to a league-best 13-4 record.

Jackson took care to praise the Ravens for signing him to a new contract in the offseason as he went up to accept the trophy.
“I would like to express my gratitude to my team, the Baltimore Ravens, for ultimately closing the deal,” Jackson stated. “I am really grateful to my offensive line and offense for everything they have done. I’m not out there doing everything, blocking and catching the ball. These prizes are a collaborative effort.”
