RELATED STORIES
The NFL insider reported the news ahead of Baltimore’s Week 16 game against the Atlanta Falcons on Christmas Eve, Saturday, December 24.
“Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley was voted as the AFC’s fourth alternate Pro Bowl quarterback, one slot after third alternate Pro Bowl quarterback Lamar Jackson, the quarterback he is replacing again Saturday, league sources told ESPN,” Schefter wrote on ESPN.com.
According to Schefter’s report, the former Utah standout received more votes than quarterbacks like Ryan Tannehill (Tennessee Titans), Derek Carr (Las Vegas Raiders), and Mac Jones (New England Patriots). Ahead of Huntley in the alternate process is Ravens starter and former NFL MVP Lamar Jackson. Huntley is currently playing in place of an injured Jackson, who is dealing with a knee injury.
This season’s AFC Pro Bowl quarterbacks are Patrick Mahomes (Kansas City Chiefs), Josh Allen (Buffalo Bills), and Joe Burrow (Cincinnati Bengals). If at least two of those quarterbacks decide not to participate in the event, both Jackson and Huntley would get Pro Bowl nods.
