Lamar Jackson currently does not have a peer when it comes to the NFL MVP race. Jackson is also peerless when it comes to fan voting for the 2020 NFL Pro Bowl.
Jackson, the Ravens’ second year signal-caller, is leading the fan vote for this year’s Pro Bowl. According to an NFL press release, Jackson had already got 146,171 fan votes as of Wednesday evening, less than a week after fans could start voting for their favorite players.
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was second with 116,325, with fellow quarterback — and league MVP candidate — Russell Wilson coming in third with 115,370 votes. Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (106,167 votes) and Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (100,218 votes) rounded out the top five fan vote recipients.
Jackson isn’t the only Raven that is getting love from the fans, as Baltimore presently leads all NFL teams in fan votes, followed by the 49ers, Packers, Cowboys and Vikings. Fan voting will conclude on Thursday, Dec. 12.
