**Brown:** Many people are asking whether Lamar Jackson can be any better than he was during his remarkable 2024 season. I believe he can.
Certainly, it's going to be difficult. Jackson surpassed 4,000 passing yards for the first time and became the first player to throw more than 40 touchdown passes (41) with fewer than five interceptions (four). From Weeks 3 through 10, when the Ravens went 7-1, Jackson had 22 touchdown passes while throwing just one pick. It's impossible to play the position much better than that.
However, it's not insane to think Jackson could have a better season in 2025. He's only 28 years old, very much in his prime. He cares deeply about winning. He's putting in the work, not resting on his laurels. He has already spoken about becoming [an even more vocal leader](https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/lamar-jackson-ravens-minicamp-vengeance-on-mind-playoffs) and having more bonding experiences with teammates off the field.
This will be Jackson's third season directing Monken's system. He's never had more command, control, and familiarity with an offense. He's also never had more weapons, with the addition of Hopkins to an already stacked group of playmakers. Meanwhile, there are fewer questions to answer on the offensive line. Roger Rosengarten and Daniel Faalele have a year as starters under their belts, and Ronnie Stanley and Tyler Linderbaum are coming off Pro Bowl seasons. The running back room is loaded, led by future Hall of Famer Derrick Henry.
If Jackson plays at least 15 games, I expect him to pass for more than 4,000 yards again, to toss at least 35 touchdown passes, to throw no more than six interceptions, and to be in the MVP running as usual. If all that happens, and the Ravens win the Super Bowl? I'd call that Jackson's best season, regardless of his final statistics.
