After completing one of the most surprising seasons in franchise history, Ravens running back Justin Forsett is on his way to his first Pro Bowl.
The 29-year-old was chosen as a first alternate last month and will now replace the injured Arian Foster, his former teammate in Houston. Forsett rushed for a career-high 1,266 yards and eight touchdowns in his first year with the Ravens and led all NFL running backs with a 5.4 yards per carry average.
“I first want to thank all of my teammates and coaches that played a part, especially our offensive line and [fullback Kyle Juszczyk,]” Forsett said. “It is as much credit to them as it is to me.”
Forsett becomes the fourth Ravens player to be on his way to the game, which will be played in Arizona on Jan. 25. Right guard Marshal Yanda and linebackers Elvis Dumervil and C.J. Mosley were selected for the game in late December.
Those players will be joined at the Pro Bowl by head coach John Harbaugh and the Ravens staff, who agreed to coach one of the teams after the Denver Broncos and head coach John Fox parted ways on Monday.
“We’re looking forward to doing that,” Harbaugh said. “Right now, we are preparing to put a couple of schemes together and go out there and coach a game.”
The running back’s addition means the Ravens will continue their streak of having at least four players selected to every Pro Bowl since 2005. Baltimore could have more players added to the game as Juszczyk, linebacker Terrell Suggs, punter Sam Koch, and return specialist Jacoby Jones are also first alternates.
