3 Ravens Earn All-Pro First Team Honors From Players' Vote
Three players on the Baltimore Ravens earned one of the highest honors a player can get from their peers.
On Wednesday, the NFL Players Association revealed the 2023-24 Players' All-Pro First Team, which was voted on by the players. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, linebacker Roquan Smith and safety Kyle Hamilton each made the team. Baltimore's three players were the second most, as they only trailed the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers, who each had four make the team.

Jackson is the favorite to win MVP, which would be the second of his career after previously winning the award in 2019. He threw for a career-high 3,678 yards and 24 touchdowns compared to seven interceptions. He also ran for 821 yards and five touchdowns. In his last start of the season, Jackson put a stamp on his MVP case, as he completed 18 of 21 passes for 321 yards and five touchdowns in a dominant 56-19 win over the Miami Dolphins that clinched the AFC North and No. 1 seed in the conference.
Smith and Hamilton anchored the best defense in the NFL, as Baltimore led the league in sacks (60), tied for the most turnovers (31) and allowed the fewest points per game (16.5).
Smith had 158 tackles, five tackles for loss, five quarterback hits, 1.5 sacks, eight passes defended and one interception. Hamilton blossomed in his second year as a pro with 81 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, four quarterback hits, three sacks, four interceptions and 18 passes defended.
