The Baltimore Ravens have an opportunity to make history this season.
They have one of the best teams in the league, and their quarterback could win consecutive MVPs.
Lamar Jackson has had one of the greatest seasons by any quarterback in NFL history.
He keeps piling up accolades, awards, and milestones.
That’s why former NFL player Chris Canty believes he could finish this season as a top-five quarterback ever.
On Thursday’s edition of ESPN Radio’s “Unsportsmanlike,” the former player dug deep into the long list of awards and honors that Jackson has gathered in his career.
Chris Canty says if Lamar Jackson beats Josh Allen this week on his way to winning Super Bowl LIX, then all of a sudden, we're talking about Lamar Jackson being a top five quarterback of all time.

So, if you add beating Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes, both on the road and then winning the Super Bowl, the whole narrative around him could finally shift in his favor.
Of course, there are many ifs, but Jackson and the Ravens are more than capable of doing so.
They’ve already dominated the Bills this season and were inches away from beating the Chiefs.
Then again, we’ve also seen some uncharacteristically bad games from John Harbaugh’s team.
They’ve struggled to close out games at times, and there have always been doubts about Jackson’s ability to get the job done in the playoffs.
He’s also left much to be desired in the postseason after dominating and crushing his opposition in the regular season.
Nevertheless, that could and should all be forgotten with a Super Bowl ring, as no one can deny his greatness and talent as perhaps the best dual-threat quarterback of all time.
