Lamar Jackson — Allen's top competition for the NFL's Most Valuable Player award this season — made the first team. He received 30 first-place votes to Allen’s 18. There are 50 votes overall among nationwide NFL members of the media.
For the third time in his career, the Baltimore Ravens quarterback earned AP First-Team All-Pro honors. In 2019 and '23, Jackson followed that up by taking home the MVP. Barring something unforeseen, he's on track to win his third Most Valuable Player award, beating out Allen, who is still looking for his first MVP.
