Lamar Jackson has achieved a significant milestone by becoming the youngest two-time MVP in NFL history since the merger at the age of 27, playing for the Baltimore Ravens. He is the first player to win the MVP award without another first-team All-Pro on offense since Adrian Peterson in 2012, and the last quarterback to do so was Aaron Rodgers in 2011. Jackson's achievement places him in an exclusive group of NFL players who have won multiple MVPs before their age-27 season, a feat only accomplished by Jim Brown and himself. Moreover, Jackson's accolades include winning the Heisman Trophy with Louisville Football at age 19, and now, at 27, he joins an elite list of athletes, including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who have won a collegiate national Player of the Year award as a teenager and then multiple MVP awards in a major league before turning 28. Despite his individual successes, Jackson stands out as the only one among the nine multiple NFL MVP winners who has not yet won a Super Bowl. Additionally, he is the fourth player to win his second MVP before turning 28, alongside Patrick Mahomes, Brett Favre, and Jim Brown, who won at the age of 22.
