LSU reigns supreme.
Drum roll please. The 2024 NFL All-Pro team was made public by the Associated Press on Friday. The roster, selected by a national panel made up of 50 media voters, is headlined by MVP candidate Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.
Jackson narrowly beat out Josh Allen at quarterback, and Ja’Marr Chase the Tripple Crown winner and Justin Jefferson were unanimous choices for the Associated Press 2024 NFL All-Pro Team.
“Wow, that’s crazy. That’s respect right there. That’s love,” Jefferson said of his unanimous selection and second overall.
Below is the distinguished first-team roster, led by Jackson, Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley and Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chase.

“It’s pretty special,” Wirfs said. “It’s something I wanted to do, wanted to accomplish.”
Jackson had a heck of a year as a dual threat QB, compiling 5,087 yards from scrimmage (4,172 passing, 915 rushing) with 41 touchdown passes and another four TDs rushing for the 12–5 Ravens. Being named quarterback of the All-Pro first team makes it likely he will also be named NFL MVP over Buffalo’s Allen.
Barkley led the NFL with 2,005 yards rushing, the eighth-highest single-season total in NFL history. He became only the ninth running back to reach the 2,000-yard mark, while scoring 13 touchdowns only 101 yards away from breaking Eric Dickerson’s all-time record.
Chase won the receiving triple crown, the sixth wideout in the Super Bowl era to achieve that enormous feat and the first since Los Angeles Rams Cooper Kupp in 2021. He paced the league with 127 catches, 1,708 yards and 17 touchdowns.
The Ravens, Eagles and Detroit Lions tied for the most players named to the All-Pro rosters with six each.
The Lions earned four first-team spots with receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, right tackle Penei Sewell, safety Kerby Joseph, who led the league in interceptions and punter Jack Fox. Center Frank Ragnow and punt returner Kalif Raymond earned second-team honors.
Baltimore also earned four spots on the first-team roster with Jackson, fullback Patrick Ricard, linebacker Roquan Smith and slot cornerback Marlon Humphrey. Running back Derrick Henry and safety Kyle Hamilton won second-team honors.
Barkley and linebacker Zack Baun were Philadelphia’s first-team All-Pros, while wide receiver A.J. Brown, left tackle Jordan Mailata, right tackle Lane Johnson and defensive tackle Jalen Carter were on the second team.
The Denver Broncos earned five All-Pro spots with right guard Quinn Meinerz, cornerback Patrick Surtain II and punt returner Marvin Mims Jr. named to the first team, along with edge rusher Nik Bonitto and defensive tackle Zach Allen.
