Jets cornerback Darelle Revis was a near unanimous choice to the NFL All-Pro team, as was Packers cornerback Charles Woodson, who defeated Revis for Defesnvie Player of the Year earlier this week.
Revis and Woodson each recived 48 of 50 votes for the overall NFL all-star team.
Jets center Nick Mangold also was named to the first team, and linebacker David Harris was a second team selection.
“That was great. They definitely deserved it,” Rex Ryan said in a transcript provided by the Jets. “I thought it was great and interesting that David Harris was voted second team, so I was proud of that fact as well.”
Titans running back Chris Johnson was the only unanimous choice for the squad, announced Thursday. He’s joined in the backfield by Colts quarterback Peyton Manning, who won an unprecedented fourth Most Valuable Player Award last week, when only quarterbacks received votes.
“That’d be a good thing,” said Johnson, who won the Offensive Player of the Year award Wednesday. “Because I feel like if you put a season out there, out of those dudes who got votes or the dudes who won, I wouldn’t feel they had a better season than I had, and broke as many records in one season that I had.”
For setting the league mark for yards from scrimmage and becoming the sixth 2,000-yard rusher in NFL history, Johnson got all 50 votes from a nationwide panel of sports writers. One other player, San Francisco inside linebacker Patrick Willis, came close with, appropriately, 49.
“I just think Patrick is a very unique guy,” 49ers coach Mike Singletary said. “He’s a guy who’s always going to be around the ball. He has the instincts. He has the speed. He can be where he wants to be.”
He’s on the All-Pro team for the second time in his three pro seasons. The other inside linebacker, Baltimore’s Ray Lewis, made it for the seventh time. Jets linebacker David harris trailed Lewis, 13 votes to 10.
Other veteran All-Pros include Manning, chosen for the fifth time, as were Minnesota guard Steve Hutchinson and Vikings defensive tackle Kevin Williams, and Lechler.
The Vikings had the most players on the team with four: running back Adrian Peterson and defensive end Jared Allen also made it. Next was Indianapolis with three: Manning, tight end Dallas Clark, and DE Dwight Freeney.
The Jets, New Orleans (guard Jahri Evans and safety Darren Sharper), Dallas (outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware and defensive tackle Jay Ratliff), Denver (tackle Ryan Clady and defensive end Elvis Dumervil) and Cleveland (tackle Joe Thomas and kick returner Joshua Cribbs) had two players each.
“To be selected for the All-Pro team is really overwhelming to me,” Clady said. “There are so many great tackles playing right now. To be recognized among them is truly a blessing. I would like to thank my teammates and coaches for this honor.”
In all, there were 15 AFC players and 12 from the NFC selected.
Sixteen players made All-Pro for the first time: Johnson, Woodson, Revis, Sharper, Dumervil, Ratliff, Cribbs, Mangold, Evans, Thomas, Clady, Clark, New England receiver Wes Welker, Philadelphia fullback Leonard Weaver, San Diego placekicker Nick Kaeding and Arizona safety Adrian Wilson.
Also selected to the team was Houston receiver Andre Johnson for the second time.
Repeaters from last year were Manning, Peterson, Andre Johnson, Hutchinson, Allen, Williams, Ware, Lewis and Lechler.
The Giants, Washington, Atlanta, Carolina, Tampa Bay, Chicago, Detroit, Seattle, St. Louis, Miami, Buffalo, Jacksonville, Cincinnati, Kansas City and Pittsburgh had no All-Pros this season.
