AP All-Pro teams: Donald, Kelce earn unanimous selections
The Associated Press released its 2020 All-Pro honorees on Friday, and Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce were named unanimous choices.
Donald and Kelce appeared on all 50 media members' teams, with the former earning his sixth All-Pro selection and the latter snagging his third.
Green Bay Packers star Aaron Rodgers, the favorite for the MVP award after throwing a career-high 48 touchdowns, was named the first-team quarterback with 46 votes. Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills and Patrick Mahomes of the Chiefs tied for the second-team spot with two votes apiece.
Among 14 All-Pro newcomers were Packers wideout Davante Adams, Bills wideout Stefon Diggs, and Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry. Adams led the league in receiving touchdowns (18), Diggs had the most receiving yards (1,535) and catches (127), and Henry became the eighth running back in NFL history with 2,000 rushing yards.
The Packers and Colts had an NFL-high four first-team All-Pro picks each.
