Lamar Jackson is one of the Ravens' four first-team All-Pros in 2024, as named by the Associated Press.
He's joined by linebacker Roquan Smith (third time), cornerback Marlon Humphrey (second time), and fullback Patrick Ricard (first time).
Running back Derrick Henry and safety Kyle Hamilton were named second-team All-Pros.
It's a sign that Jackson's case for a third MVP award is strong, as he beat out fellow front-runner Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills. Jackson received 30 first-place votes while Allen, who made the second team, had 18. Cincinnati's Joe Burrow finished third with two first-place votes.
Jackson was also a first-team All-Pro in 2019 and 2023 – his two other MVP seasons. The same people who vote on the All-Pro teams also vote on other postseason honors, such as MVP.
Per ESPN Stats Info, in every season going back to 2013, the quarterback named as the first-team All-Pro also won the NFL MVP. The last MVP who did not make first-team All-Pro was John Elway, who won the award in 1987 as a second-team All-Pro.
Jackson also headlined the NFLPA's All-Pro team at quarterback, which is voted on by the players themselves.
Jackson led the NFL in passer rating (119.6), which was the fourth highest in league history, while setting career highs in passing yards (4,172) and touchdown passes (41).
He became the first player with 40 touchdown passes while throwing fewer than five interceptions (four). He became the first quarterback in league history with at least 4,000 passing yards and 800 rushing yards (915), and seven games with a passer rating of at least 135.0 set a single-season record.
Smith has been an inspirational leader since arriving in Baltimore midway through the 2022 season in a trade with the Chicago Bears. He finished second in the league with 154 tackles and was one of only three NFL players with at least 150 tackles, one interception, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.
The versatile Humphrey was named first team as a slot corner after making the first team in 2019 as an outside corner. This season, he finished tied for third in the NFL with a career-high six interceptions, and several of them came at critical moments that led to victories.
Humphrey's fourth-quarter interception against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 5 set up a late game-tying field goal before the Ravens won in overtime. His interception in the end zone against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7 turned the momentum in Baltimore's favor. In Week 16, Humphrey's pick-six against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the fourth quarter helped secure a 34-17 win.
Ricard won first-team honors at fullback, a position that was added to the Associated Press voting in 2023. He is one of the league's most devasting blockers and played a key role in helping the Ravens lead the NFL in rushing while paving the way for Henry, Jackson, and others.
Henry set franchise records with 16 rushing touchdowns and 18 total touchdowns. He finished second in the league in rushing (1,921 yards) behind the Eagles' Saquon Barkley, who was named a first-team All-Pro.
Henry became the first NFL player with at least 1,500 rushing yards and 15 rushing touchdowns in three different seasons. He was the only back to rank in the top five in yards before contact (1.73) and after contact (4.21) per carry. He finished the season strong, posting three straight games with at least 138 yards rushing.
Hamilton, a first-team All-Pro in 2023, played a key role in the Ravens' defensive surge in the second half of the season while playing almost exclusively at deep safety. One of the league's most versatile defensive players, Hamilton had a career-high 107 tackles and a career-high six quarterback hits, along with two forced fumbles, one interception and nine passes defended
