January 3, 2020 Quarterback Lamar Jackson has produced an MVP-caliber season, leading the Ravens to a 14-2 record. Jackson, 22, completed 66% of his passes and 36 touchdown passes. Jackson broke the NFL rushing record, racking up 1,206 rushing yards and seven rushing touchdowns in 15 games. The second year quarterback led the league with an 81.1 QBR. Not bad for a runningback!
Along with Jackson, offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley made his first All Pro team. Stanley improved his pass production tremendously, ranking among the top three tackles in pass blocking efficiency according to Pro Football Focus.

December 27, 2019 Stanley (a 2016 first round selection) is joined by cornerback Marlon Humphrey (a 2017 first round selection) in producing their first All-Pro season.
Humphrey and fellow cornerback Marcus Peters rounded out the first-team All Pro defense. Both Humphrey and Peters led the team with three interceptions each and played a huge role in the improve pass defense en route to 12 straight wins.
The first team also included kicker Justin Tucker, which came as no surprise. Tucker converted 96.6% of his field goal attempts, his second highest conversion rate. Additionally, Tucker benefitted from the Ravens league leading scoring offense as he converted a career-high 57 PATs.
The AP All Pro Second-Team included guard Marshal Yanda for the fourth time (six All-Pro's in total).
Both Yanda and Stanley made a huge impact on the Ravens league best rushing attack, which racked up 206 rushing yards per game.
Were any Ravens players snubbed from All-Pro honors?
