Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has not only been the most exciting player in the NFL this season, but he is also a leading MVP candidate.
So it should come as no surprise that Jackson is also leading Pro-Bowl voting heading into Week 14, per NFL Communications.
Jackson has earned 447,481 votes, well ahead of Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, who is in second place with 363,955 votes. Kansas City Chiefs signal-caller Patrick Mahomes, Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook and Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey round out the top five.
Through 12 games this season, Jackson has thrown for 2,532 yards, 25 touchdowns and five interceptions while completing 66.5 percent of his passes and posting a passer rating of 109.6. In addition, he has rushed for 977 yards and seven scores, averaging a robust seven yards per carry.
Most importantly, Jackson has led the Ravens to a 10-2 record, which is tied for the best mark in the league.
Due to tiebreakers, Baltimore currently owns the No. 1 overall seed in the AFC.
Jackson, who played his collegiate football at the University of Louisville, was originally selected by the Ravens in the first round (32nd pick overall) of the 2018 NFL Draft.
He began his rookie campaign on the bench, playing behind Joe Flacco. However, a midseason injury to Flacco thrust Jackson into the starting lineup, a position he would not relinquish.
Jackson threw for 1,201 yards, six touchdowns and three picks while rushing for 695 yards and five scores during his rookie campaign, leading Baltimore to 10 wins and an AFC North division title.
The Ravens will aim for their ninth straight win when they battle the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
