    A few other notables:

    - John Kuhn was first team all pro at FB;
    - The Ravens had 4 selections as well - Dumervil and Yanda were first team, and Mosley and Ngata were second team.

      Watt receives 45 as a DE and 5 as a DT, all first team...

      How is AB NOT unanimous?!?! 1st in receptions, 1st in yards and, what, tied for 3rd in TDs?!?
      Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.

          Some writer has an axe to grind with AB, probably a Cleveland, Cincy or Baltimore writer.

            Watt is so good, that when the 1st team All-Pro D steps off the field, he just slides over to DT and keeps playing.

              We should've kept Velasco. Along with Cody Wallace, we would've had three All-Pro caliber Centers on our roster (i.e. according to experts here).
              I wasn't hired for my disposition.

                should have chosen CJ Mosley instead of Shazier...

                  It was Dan Pompei. Apparently, he writes for Bleacher Report. He explained that he flipped a coin among his top 3 WRs. He later said that he picked Dez and Jordy b/c of the matchup problems that they create.

                    Just another mediot. As if AB doesn't cause matchup problems, he hasn't had a game with less than 5 catches and at least 50 yards for a couple years, who exactly has matched up well against him and succeeded?

                      AB has been killing defenses all year, I don't buy that Jordy and Dez create any matchup problems that AB doesn't.
