Late for Work 5/28: Lamar Jackson Is NFL's Most Explosive Runner and Efficient Passer - BaltimoreRavens.com

Based on analytics, the 2019 NFL MVP was both the league's most explosive runner and most efficient passer last season.

"Jackson carried the ball 176 times in 2019, and he hit a speed of 15 mph or faster on over half of those runs.

"Jackson is far from a finished product as a passer, but the Ravens finished first in passing efficiency last season," The Athletic's Sheil Kapadia wrote.

"Jackson finished first in QBR and fourth in adjusted net yards per attempt (ANY/A).

Perhaps the statistic that best exemplifies Jackson' huge leap as a passer is Next Gen Stats' completion percentage above expectation, which measures the probability of a completion on every throw.

Despite Jackson's incredible 2019 season, he did not make NFL.com's All-Under-25 Team, as the Kansas City Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes got the nod at quarterback.

The Ravens were tied with the Cleveland Browns, Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints for most players on the team.

Earlier this month, Jackson, Andrews and Humphrey made PFF's rankings of the top 25 players under 25.

In Humphrey, cornerback Marcus Peters and safety Earl Thomas III, the Ravens have three Pro Bowl players in their secondary.

Young has played well when on the field, but the 2016 fourth-round pick missed the entire 2017 and 2019 seasons due to injury (he suffered a torn ACL in 2017 and underwent neck surgery last year).

Speaking of Ravens players who shouldn't be overlooked, running back Gus Edwards was identified as the team's most underrated player by PFF's Ben Linsey.

Dobbins and return of 2019 fourth-round pick Justice Hill, the Ravens envision a four-headed monster at running back that should terrify defenses.

The Ravens have repeatedly been mentioned as a potential suitor for the former No.

If the Ravens are interested in signing Clowney, they would need to  createcap space byrestructuring some players' contracts or signing Matthew Judon or Ronnie Stanley to long-term deals. ?
