Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and Cowboys cornerback DaRon Bland were among the 30 picks for the NFLPA All-Pro team selected by their peers in polling of active players.

Jackson led the Ravens (13-4) to the AFC’s No. 1 seed and a first-round playoff bye in his first season with offensive coordinator Todd Monken. Jackson was Baltimore’s leading rusher with 821 yards and five touchdowns and had 3,678 passing yards with 24 TDs and a 102.7 passer rating.

Bland, elevated to left cornerback in Dallas when Trevon Diggs was lost to a season-ending knee injury, returned a record five of his NFL-leading nine interceptions for touchdowns.

The Ravens’ No. 1-ranked defense was represented by linebacker Roquan Smith and safety Kyle Hamilton.

Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill were picked as All-Pros at a position overflowing with productive candidates. Lamb set franchise records with 135 receptions for 1,749 yards and had a team-high 12 TDs. Cowboys guards Tyler Smith and Zack Martin were named All-Pros in balloting by the union.

Hill, slowed by an ankle injury late in the season, had 119-1,799-13.

Brock Purdy didn’t get the nod over Jackson, but the 49ers’ backfield of fullback Kyle Juszczyk and running back Christian McCaffrey, the NFL leader in rushing (1,459) who tied for the league lead in total touchdowns (21, Raheem Mostert), joined left tackle Trent Williams and linebacker Fred Warner as NFLPA All-Pros.

This is the second year for the NFLPA All-Pro team. Only active players are eligible to participate and cast a single ballot, exclusively for players on other teams and within the position group they play in and line up against on the field.

For example, centers vote for the best center, the best nose tackle, the best interior defensive lineman and the best off-ball linebacker.

The NFLPA releases expanded voting results to include the top five at every position later in the month.
