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).

Right Now in Baltimore
The Ravens go on the clock with Pick 14 and then move to 'Super Bowl' time
The purple land of hopes and expectations begins on Thursday night with the NFL Draft. Luke Jones and Nestor get you ready for a myriad of draft possibilities and outcomes for Eric DeCosta and the Baltimore Ravens under rookie head coach Jesse Minter. We'll be picking and opining all weekend as spring hopes remain eternal in Owings Mills.
When will the frozen Orioles bats thaw this spring?
Sure, it's not the lineup that manager Craig Albernaz envisioned back in Sarasota in February but the Orioles need to figure out how to stop striking out and start hitting with runners in scoring position. Nestor Aparicio and Luke Jones discussed the Birds' struggles, including a five-game losing streak and scuffling through Kansas City waiting for the roster to get healthier and more productive.
Who can Orioles really count on to "pitch" in as innings add up?
Is there an "ace" in the starting rotation deck for the Baltimore Orioles? Sure, we all believed that Trevor Rogers and Kyle Bradish would make it look easy and that Shane Baz would pitch to his contract and Chris Bassitt would stabilize the staff and Zach Eflin...and then the season began. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the Birds' pitching depth and scraping by on any win possible in Kansas City.
