Yes. But I get the impression that in Jesus' case, the title 'Rabbi' was a casual 'honorific' such as one might call a knowledgeable person 'Professor' even though they are not qualified as a 'Professor'.
Coupled with being unmarried and revered by his followers would point a uniqueness apart from conventional Judaism of those times.
