The Baltimore Ravens are making noise, and not just on the scoreboard. Four weeks into the 2024 season, the Ravens have shown why they’re considered one of the league’s most dangerous teams.
After a rough 0-2 start, Baltimore has quickly rebounded, and the league is starting to take notice. From Lamar Jackson’s jaw-dropping plays to the defense’s resurgence, this Ravens team is firing on all cylinders, reminding everyone why they’ve been a perennial contender.
But it’s not just about the wins. The Ravens’ top performers are getting individual recognition, and it doesn’t stop there. Pro Football Focus (PFF) has released its first-quarter All-Pro Team for the 2024 season, and three Ravens have cracked the list. This is no small feat—especially considering the level of talent spread across the NFL.
When PFF speaks, fans and analysts listen. The site is known for its in-depth analytics and player evaluations, and making their All-Pro team is a strong indication that these players are playing at an elite level. The Ravens have always been known for producing All-Pro caliber players, and this year is no different. The 2024 season might still be young, but if these three Ravens stars keep performing at this level, they could be on their way to some serious hardware by season’s end.
So, who made the cut? Let’s dive into PFF’s 2024 NFL first-quarter All-Pro Team and see which three Ravens have already left their mark on the league. Trust me—these names won’t surprise you.
3 Ravens players make PFF's 2024 NFL first-quarter All-Pro Team
Running back, Derrick Henry
"Henry has averaged 6.0 yards per carry in his first four games with the Ravens, and his 17 forced missed tackles are tied for third in the NFL this season."
Derrick Henry appearing on the list is an obvious choice. He has been running over anything and everything and setting records along the way. He has dialed Father Time's clocks back and is performing arguably better than he ever has. If he keeps up this level of production, he’ll be racking up accolades left and right. He's on pace for 2,000 rushing yards and 20 rushing touchdowns.
Tight end, Isaiah Likely
"While much of the attention will be on Likely becoming the Ravens' top receiving target at tight end, largely due to his big Week 1 performance, he earns a spot on the PFF Q1 All-Pro team for his blocking ability, as well. His skill in blocking on the move has earned him an 84.1 PFF run-blocking grade, the highest at his position this season."
Isaiah Likely cracking the list is a bit surprising. However, it's hard to ignore his production and value to the Ravens' offense. Likely's play has put tons of pressure on former All-Pro tight end Mark Andrews and is quickly becoming the team's top option. He's a great receiver and is becoming the best blocking tight end in the league as well.
Cornerback, Marlon Humphrey
"Humphrey’s 75.3 PFF coverage grade ranks 15th among cornerbacks, but he has been one of the most impressive players in the league at preventing separation, posting a66.10% Lockdown Percentage (subscription required) through four weeks. He’s also moved around the Ravens defensive backfield, with 94 of his 242 snaps coming in the slot."

It's been a minute since Marlon Humphrey received recognition for his play. He last made the Pro Bowl back in 2022 and hasn't been an All-Pro since 2019. It's great seeing Humphrey get back into form. If he can play this well all season, the Ravens passing defense will return to form, and Baltimore will be right back into the championship conversation.
