With the 2024 regular season over, PFF released its All-Pro Team for the year. Four Ravens landed on the team.
Lamar Jackson being selected as the first-team quarterback should be no surprise to anyone who has watched the two-time MVP put together his best season to date.
“Lamar Jackson delivered the best regular season of his career in 2024, earning an impressive 94.3 PFF grade—the sixth-best mark by a quarterback over the past decade,” PFF’s Gordon McGuinness wrote. “He paired elite playmaking with exceptional ball security, finishing with a 6.0% big-time throw rate and a position-best 1.4% turnover-worthy play rate.”
Jackson’s running mate, Derrick Henry, was chosen as the first-team running back, ahead of Saquon Barkley of the Philadelphia Eagles. The now 31-year-old back defied father time and exceeded all expectations in his first season in Baltimore, finishing with the second-most rushing yards in his career and the second-most in the NFL.
“Henry topped the position with an astonishing 1,137 rushing yards after contact, marking the fourth time in his career he’s surpassed 1,000 yards after contact in a single season,” McGuinness wrote. “His physical running style was on full display as he forced a league-high 80 missed tackles on 325 carries. Henry’s performance earned him a 93.1 PFF rushing grade, the best among all running backs.”
Kyle Hamilton is the next Raven on the team, one of two safeties chosen. Through his first three seasons, Hamilton has proven to be one of the best defenders in the NFL. The versatile defensive back saved Baltimore’s defense this season by moving to the backend and replacing the struggling veteran safety Marcus Williams.
“At the three-quarter mark of the season, Hamilton was our choice in the flex spot on defense, having spent the first half of the year in the box and the slot for the Ravens,” McGuinness wrote. “In Week 11, the Ravens moved him into a deeper role, completely transforming their defensive success. He finished the regular season with an 89.4 PFF run-defense grade, an 89.0 PFF pass-rushing grade and an 87.9 PFF coverage grade.”
The final Raven to make the team was cornerback Marlon Humphrey. After a down year in 2023, Humphrey rebounded in 2024 with perhaps his best season to date as a pro. The veteran cornerback made several game-changing plays in big games for Baltimore this season, including both wins over the Cincinnati Bengals and leading the team in interceptions with six.
“In his eighth season out of Alabama, Humphrey delivered the best performance of his career, earning an 81.0 PFF grade,” McGuinness wrote. “Targeted 83 times in coverage, he allowed 51 receptions for 518 yards while recording 16 combined pass breakups and interceptions.”
The Ravens will need these four players to continue their excellent play into the postseason as they look to make a run at the Super Bowl.
