On the eve of Super Bowl LIV, the gratin of the NFL met this evening in Miami to distribute the end of season rewards.
And for the second time in history, a player has been unanimously voted MVP. Lamar Jackson thus joins Tom Brady in this very closed club.
It must be said that there was not much suspense as to the identity of this season’s MVP as Lamar Jackson was dominant and impressive with the Baltimore Ravens.
The Ravens quarterback finished the 2019 season with 3,127 passing yards for 36 touchdowns. He also ran for 1,206 yards and scored 9 rushing touchdowns.
