Lamar Jackson was stellar in 2024, but Offensive Coordinator Todd Monken believes the pinnacle for Jackson is yet to come.
"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." "It may not statistically show up that way, but I know he's only the scratching the surface."
That's a strong statement, considering the two-time MVP set career highs in touchdown passes (41), passing yards (4,172), and quarterback rating (119.6) while throwing just four interceptions. But having worked with Jackson for two seasons, Monken knows how quickly Jackson processes information, how hard he works, and how badly he wants to win.
Monken expects Jackson's growth to continue as an elite player at age 28 who remains driven to win not just one Super Bowl, but multiple championships.
"Lamar is an unbelievably humble superstar," Monken said. "That doesn't mean he's not competitive, doesn't want to be great. Lamar just wants to win. But he also knows that him playing well … your chances of winning go up exponentially if you have a great quarterback."
