30 NFL records that could be broken this season

23. Lamar Jackson, Total Yards

Lamar Jackson had the strangest season last year. Everyone knew he was going through a contract dispute with the team. The Ravens were trying to maximize their cap position. Meanwhile, Jackson was trying to maximize his value at 26 years old. Now, Jackson has been paid. He’s basically guaranteed to get paid for two years at full term, and he would get $22 million according to Over the Cap if he’s cut after June 1 in 2025.

Jackson has the security to go all out this season, and he also has a much-improved room of receivers. He is getting Rashod Bateman in his second year, Odell Beckham Jr. after a year away from football recovering from knee surgery, and a rookie in Zay Flowers. The Ravens went from one of the worst wide receiver rooms in football to one of the better ones. On top of that, they have depth with Nelson Algholor and Devan Duvernay.

Patrick Mahomes broke the total yards record with 5,614 yards. Jackson has never gotten close to that, even in his MVP year. His career high for total yards is 4,333. This seems like a reach, but hear us out.

Jackson has the arm to throw for 4,500 yards. So, that means he has to get to 1,200 yards rushing. He’s done that before. This is very doable for Jackson, especially if he can stay healthy.
