NFL fans tweeted out criticism towards the process of fellow players voting to form the Top 100 list:
Last season, Lamar Jackson started 12 games for the Baltimore Ravens last season. He threw for 2,242 yards, 17 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. The two-time Pro Bowler missed six starts, including the AFC Wild Card round, with a knee injury.
Jackson was a vital part of Baltimore's run game too, leading the team with 764 yards and tied for second with three touchdowns.
The Ravens star is the only quarterback in NFL history with multiple 1,000-yard rushing yards. He broke Michael Vick's single-season record with 1,206 yards in his 2019 MVP season.
Jackson has led the franchise to the playoffs three times, making it to the Divisional round in the 2020 season. He has 900 yards, three touchdowns, and five interceptions in four career playoff starts.
How much will Lamar Jackson make in the 2023 season?
Lamar Jackson and the Ravens agreed to a five-year, $260 million-dollar contract extension in April. This upcoming season will see the superstar signal-caller have a base salary of $7.5 million and a $72.5 million signing bonus.
His total of $80 million in 2023 will be the most in the NFL. Quarterback Deshaun Watson of the Cleveland Browns is a distant second at $46 million.
With great investment comes great expectations, and it will be interesting to see if Jackson can deliver. We'll see if the $80 million-dollar quarterback can help the Ravens make a deep playoff run in the 2023 season.
