With the 2024 NFL season at the halfway mark, PFF has released its midseason All-Pro team, which features three Baltimore Ravens players.
The choice of Lamar Jackson as the mid-season All-Pro quarterback is not surprising in the least bit, as the already two-time MVP is in the middle of perhaps his best season to date and well on his way to a third MVP award if he continues at this pace. Jackson has the chance to become the first player in NFL history to pass for over 4,000 yards and rush for over 1,000 in the same season.
“This is the best version of Lamar Jackson we’ve ever seen,” PFF’s Gordon McGuinness wrote. “Most impressive through eight weeks has been his ability to avoid negative plays in the passing game, with just four turnover-worthy plays as a passer so far this season.”
First-year Raven Derrick Henry was named the midseason All-Pro running back. Pairing Henry with Jackson in the backfield has been everything anyone could have hoped for. The duo has combined to give the Ravens a seemingly unstoppable ground attack. Henry has been the ultimate closer for Baltimore this season, routinely ripping off big runs near the end of the game to stick the dagger in the heart of opposing defenses for good.
“Henry’s 91.5 PFF rushing grade leads the NFL, and his rushing yards after contact would rank 11th when compared to everyone else’s total rushing yards,” McGuinness wrote. “He has been one of the best running backs in the league at creating big plays, with his 19 runs of 10-plus yards tied for the most.”
The final Raven to make the team was cornerback Marlon Humphrey. Humphrey was in the middle of one the best seasons of his career before missing the game against the Cleveland Browns with an injury suffered during the team’s victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers — a game in which Humphrey caught two interceptions from quarterback Baker Mayfield. Humphrey’s four interceptions this year are the most of any player on Baltimore’s defense.
“Humphrey is one of the stickiest cornerbacks in football through the first half of the year,” McGuinness wrote. “His 85.1 PFF coverage grade trails only Zyon McCollum among cornerbacks with 200-plus snaps this season.”
