Ravens linebacker Elvis Dumervil and right guard Marshal Yanda were both named first-team All-Pro selections by the Associated Press on Friday.
Voting was completed by a panel of 50 voters that regularly cover the NFL with Yanda receiving 38 votes and Dumervil receiving 13 behind fellow outside linebacker Justin Houston of Kansas City, who grabbed 47 of 50 possible votes at the position. Both Yanda and Dumervil were selected to play in the Pro Bowl last month.
Dumervil also received three votes as a defensive end after leading the Ravens with 17 sacks to set a franchise record. Yanda earned more votes than any other offensive lineman.
Rookie linebacker C.J. Mosley was a second-team All Pro selection after receiving nine votes and is also on his way to the Pro Bowl.
Other Ravens players to receive votes included punter Sam Koch (eight), return specialist Jacoby Jones (three), right tackle Rick Wagner (two), fullback Kyle Juszczyk (one), kicker Justin Tucker (one), and linebacker Terrell Suggs (one).
