BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — The Associated Press announced its 2024 NFL All-Pro Team on Friday and Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was the only Bills player to be recognized.
The All-Pro team is selected by a national panel of 50 media members. They chose a first team and a second team. First-place votes are worth three points and second-team votes are worth one point.
Allen was named second-team AP All-Pro after receiving 18 first-place votes compared to Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson who was named first-team AP All-Pro after receiving 30 first-place votes.
Allen and Jackson are two of the favorites to win NFL MVP. 7 Sports Director Matt Bove believes Jackson being named first-team AP All-Pro over Allen makes the race even closer.
I want to see how the odds change. Saw post from @BruceExclusive about how Elway was the last QB to win MVP in 1987 without being named AP first-team. So it’s been a long time since it’s happened. I think Allen can still win, but I don’t feel as confident as I did an hour ago. https://t.co/lK1Ad4R8Fv
