The Associated Press has announced the results of this year’s All-Pro voting and two players were selected as first-team choices by all 50 voters.

Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas got the unanimous nod after setting a new record for receptions during the 2019 season. Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore joined Thomas in that category. Both players have made the first-team two straight years.

Projected MVP Lamar Jackson got 47-of-50 votes at quarterback. Russell Wilson of the Seahawks got the other three votes.

Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey wound up with 45 votes, although they were split between running back and the flex spot created to reflect the way offenses are set up now. He wound up winning the vote at both spots after picking up more than 1,000 yards as a runner and receiver his season.
