First, he replaced injured Ravens starter Lamar Jackson.
Now Baltimore backup Tyler Huntley is headed to the Pro Bowl Games to replace injured Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen.
The invitation to Las Vegas completes a whirlwind couple of months for the undrafted third-year player known as “Snoop,” who will celebrate his 25th birthday on Friday.
After Jackson went down with a knee injury in Week 13, Huntley started four of the last five regular season games (2-2 record) and the wild-card playoff loss at Cincinnati on Jan. 15.
Huntley completed 67.0 percent of his passes in the regular season for 658 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions, and also rushed for 137 yards and a score. He was 17-of-29 passing for 226 yards, two TDs and one pick in the 24-17 loss to the Bengals.
Allen is dealing with an elbow injury.
The reinvented Pro Bowl Games, including a flag football contest, will take place from Thursday through Sunday in Las Vegas.
