The most iconic award in the NFL is the Most Valuable Player award. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson became the second player to not only win the award, but do it with unanimous concession among voters, two years ago. 

is season became one for the record books. He combined 1,200 years with seven touchdowns on the ground, with 3,100 yards and 36 touchdowns in the air.

GMFB's (Good Morning Football) Kyle Brandt is predicting Lamar will win his second MVP award this year.

"I don't know if he has the help he needs. I don't know if his team has the health he needs. But I know this, here's the poster: '11 tacklers. One hero. The odds are against Lamar Jackson and that's just the way he likes it."

There are lots of narratives that are involved in these discussions. For example; Aaron Rodgers MVP last year - 'Does he still have it?' or Lamar Jackson's 'Who can stop this kind of revolutionary player?'

The Ravens have already sacrificed J.K. Dobbins and rookie wide receiver Rashod Bateman is expected to miss a few games. Receivers Marquise "Hollywood" Brown and Sammy Watkins' health has been touch-and-go during training and pre-season. 

The narrative that surrounds his throwing ability, is the advantage Lamar has to getting that MVP. He'll turn heads by showing off his arm. If he "just" rushes another 1,000 yards, it won't be impressive, it'll be expected.

More individuals would find Lamar rushing 800 yards and increasing his passing yardage to 3,500 or 4,000 more impressive.

This year, the Ravens are facing the second-most challenging schedule. Their opponents' combined 2020 win percentage is at .563. 

If the Ravens defeat majority of the big-teams on their schedule, a.k.a Kansas City Chiefs, Cleveland Browns, and Green Bay Packers, it could lead to Lamar winning over voters with head-to-head victories over quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers.

On their schedule, the Ravens have five primitive games. All Lamar needs to do is show off some highlight plays on the field and he'll easily win over voters.

If Lamar can improve his 2019 season, he'll definitely be talked about. His 2019 season was unanimously voted as an MVP season. 

He is predicted to become one with quarterbacks Joe Montana, Steve Young and Kurt Warner. The three of them have all won two league MVP award, and they have all been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
