STM Take

Jackson's 2025 line at STTM #21 tier 6 is the cleanest games-played story on the QB board. Through 13 games his per-game profile compressed (204.7 YPG vs 289.4 in 2024, 1.85 TDs/G vs 2.65), but the prior is back-to-back MVP play one year removed. The career baseline has not changed; the rank has, because availability did.

Jackson grew up in the Golden Acres public housing project in Pompano Beach, Florida, lost his father at age eight, and was coached early by his mother. He played at Louisville from 2015 to 2017, winning the Heisman Trophy as a sophomore in 2016, and Baltimore took him with the final pick of the first round (32nd overall) in the 2018 NFL Draft. He has since won two NFL MVPs (2019, 2023), made three first-team All-Pros and four Pro Bowls, and set the all-time NFL records for career rushing yards by a quarterback (6,522) and single-season quarterback rushing yards (1,206 in 2019). He currently ranks first on the NFL's all-time regular-season career passer rating list at 102.2.

Strengths

All-time NFL leader in career passer rating (102.2) and career rushing yards by a quarterback (6,522), with 35 career rushing TDs on top of 187 passing TDs.
Back-to-back first-team All-Pro nods in 2023 and 2024, with the 2024 MVP and NFL passer rating title still inside the most recent full season.

Concerns

Two injury-shortened seasons on the rankings card now (2021 tier 6, 2025 tier 6), so the durability question is no longer a one-off.
Per-game volume in 2025 collapsed to 204.7 passing YPG, the lowest of his career, suggesting the shortened year wasn't only games-missed but also reduced workload when he was on the field.

What to watch: Games played. The MVP profile sits right behind a healthy 17-game season; the only thing standing between 2024 and 2026 is availability.
