For the second time in his career, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is the NFL's Most Valuable Player.

The league announced Jackson's 2023 MVP win Thursday night at NFL Honors at Resorts World in Las Vegas, five years after he claimed the award in 2019.

Jackson passed for 3,678 yards with 24 touchdowns and seven interceptions, while adding 821 yards and four more touchdowns on the ground, to lead the Ravens to a 13-3 record through 16 games in 2023.

Lamar Jackson is the NFL MVP. He's one of 11 players to win the award multiple times. He's also the second youngest to win his second, behind only Jim Brown. Well deserved.

This was the seventh straight season a quarterback for a No. 1 playoff seed received the AP NFL MVP award. 2017: Tom Brady 2018: Patrick Mahomes 2019: Lamar Jackson 2020: Aaron Rodgers 2021: Rodgers 2022: Mahomes 2023: Jackson <a href="https://t.co/n819bYoYv4">https://t.co/n819bYoYv4</a>

Jackson received 49 of 50 possible first-place votes, coming just one shy of his second unanimous award victory.

The lone outlier was FTN Fantasy's Aaron Schatz, who voted for Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott before giving Jackson a third-place nod, according to Rob Maaddi of the Associated Press.

Only 2 players in the history of the NFL MVP have won the award unanimously: Tom Brady in 2010 and Lamar Jackson in 2019. Jackson was 1 vote shy of making history again. According to <a href="https://twitter.com/RobMaaddi?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@RobMaaddi</a>, FTN's <a href="https://twitter.com/ASchatzNFL?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ASchatzNFL</a> had Josh Allen 1st and Dak Prescott 2nd on his ballot.

First MVP award, Lamar Jackson gets an unanimous 50 out of 50 votes. Second MVP award, Lamar gets 49 out of 50. Those who actually watch and study the games get it.

Jackson joins Tom Brady, Jim Brown, Brett Favre, Patrick Mahomes, Peyton Manning, Joe Montana, Aaron Rodgers, Johnny Unitas, Kurt Warner and Steve Young as the only NFL players to ever win multiple MVP awards.

The only names on that list not in the Pro Football Hall of Fame are likely future ballot members in Brady, Rodgers and Mahomes.

2x MVP. 2x All-Pro. 3x Pro-Bowl. 1x Pass TD Leader. Heisman, Maxwell, Walter Camp, & AP CFPOY award winner. Unanimous All-American. One of the most storied résumé's in football history at 27 years old. Lamar Jackson the legend.

Congrats to the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/NFL?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#NFL</a>'s Most Valuable Player, Lamar Jackson. I don't think there's any player on any roster in the league that is asked to do more for his team. Well deserved.<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/MVP?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#MVP</a><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/NFLHonors?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#NFLHonors</a>

Some pointed out, however, that Jackson's regular-season success has yet to translate to the playoffs.

Lamar Jackson career: 2 MVP awards 2 playoff wins <a href="https://t.co/zcW8d0KeyI">pic.twitter.com/zcW8d0KeyI</a>

Luckily for the Ravens, Jackson will get another shot at the postseason. He is locked in for the near future after signing a five-year, $26-million extension last May.

Lamar Jackson is worth every penny. Out of all the players who signed a huge extension (Burrow, Herbert, Hurts) recently he def earned it <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Salute?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Salute</a>

Now the Ravens will hope Jackson can lead them to recover from this postseason's disappointing Wild Card loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in 2024.
