In what may be a foreshadowing of where voters are leaning for the NFL MVP award, Lamar Jackson easily beat out Josh Allen for the First-Team All-Pro selection at quarterback. The Baltimore Ravens quarterback got 30 first-place votes, while Allen received 18 and finished on the All-Pro Second Team.

It’s the third time that Jackson has made the First Team, and the two previous times, he also won the MVP award. Jackson’s three First Team selections are already tied for the fourth-most in NFL history for quarterbacks, trailing only Peyton Manning (seven), Johnny Unitas (five) and Aaron Rodgers (four).
