Overview

  • On ESPN’s “This Is Football” show, Harbaugh called Jackson “as good as any passer that there’s ever been” and said his 2024 numbers back up that claim.
  • Jackson finished the 2024 regular season tied with Josh Allen for the league’s highest adjusted QBR at 77.3 and led all qualified quarterbacks with a 119.6 passer rating.
  • He became the first player in NFL history to throw 40 touchdown passes with fewer than five interceptions and set league records with four perfect passer-rating games and seven games with more TDs than incompletions.
  • Harbaugh pointed to Jackson’s relentless daily preparation—comparing his work ethic to a 95-year-old pianist practicing six to eight hours a day—as the key to his evolution into an elite passer.
  • With Jackson’s arm validated by these achievements, the Ravens enter training camp as co-favorites with the Bills at +600 odds to win Super Bowl LX, reflecting organizational confidence in his all-around game.
