Ravens QB Lamar Jackson unanimous pick for NFL MVP after historic season

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson went from being the last pick in the first round of the 2018 NFL draft to being recognized as the league's top player 21 months later.

Not bad for this season's most surprising and thrilling playmaker.

Jackson was unanimously named the NFL Most Valuable Player on Saturday night, delivering the ultimate stiff arm to critics who wondered whether he could play quarterback in this league.

Jackson received all 50 votes from media members to join Tom Brady as the only unanimous choices for the award.

At 22 years and 356 days old at the end of the regular season, Jackson became the third youngest player to win the award.
