Ravens OC: Lamar Jackson 'Still Just Scratching The Surface' After 2 MVP Awards

Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken is confident that the best is yet to come for Lamar Jackson.

"The year that he had, I think he's still just scratching the surface of where he's headed," Monken said on The Lounge Podcast (h/t Clifton Brown of the team's official website. "It may not statistically show up that way, but I know he's only scratching the surface."

Jackson has already established himself as one of the NFL's top players, earning four Pro Bowl nods and winning two MVP awards throughout the first seven years of his career.

He's coming off a 2024 season in which he made strides as a passer, finishing No. 2 in MVP voting. In 17 starts, Jackson threw for a career-high 4,172 yards and 41 touchdowns while only getting picked off four times.

He also averaged a league-leading 8.8 yards per pass attempt.

Jackson remained a threat with his legs, rushing for 915 yards and four touchdowns.

As Monken prepares to enter his third season with the Ravens, he's been amazed by the signal-caller.

"He has unbelievable vision," Monken said, via Brown. "The way he sees the field and plays the game is one of one. His ability to escape. He's so calm. He jumps right, he just left, he jumps back, jumps forward, puts his hand on someone's facemask. There is no panic."

"It's fun to work with," he added.

While it'll be difficult for Jackson to improve even further upon his impressive 2024 campaign, he could take a step forward in the postseason.

The 28-year-old owns a record of just 3-5 in eight playoff starts and turned the ball over twice during a 27-25 loss to the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round to end Baltimore's 2024 season.

Monken has high expectations for Jackson as the Ravens look to secure a third consecutive division title and fourth straight playoff appearance in 2025.
