BALTIMORE -- Lamar Jackson ended the Baltimore Ravens' 23-year drought without a Pro Bowl quarterback, and the league's top team celebrated an NFL-record-tying 12 players receiving invitations to the all-star event scheduled for Jan. 26 in Orlando, Florida.
Jackson, the front-runner for NFL Most Valuable Player, became the first Baltimore quarterback selected to to the Pro Bowl since Vinny Testaverde in 1996, the franchise's inaugural season.
That marked the second-longest drought among active teams in the NFL. The only team that has currently gone longer without one is the Miami Dolphins, whose last Pro Bowl quarterback was Dan Marino in 1995, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
