Gronkowski A Unanimous All-Pro Selection; Revis Top Vote-Getter Among CBs

BOSTON (CBS) -- At tight end and cornerback, the Patriots employ the best in the business.

That's at least the opinion of voters for the Associated Press All-Pro team, all 50 of whom selected Rob Gronkowski and 42 of whom selected Darrelle Revis.

Gronkowski's unanimous selection to the All-Pro team was matched this year only by J.J. Watt, who earned 45 votes at defensive end votes at defensive tackle from the five voters who did not select him at end.

Revis' 42 votes gave him one more than Richard Sherman, the other first-team All-Pro.

With 21 votes, kicker Stephen Gostkowski earned a spot on the All-Pro second team, behind only Adam Vinatieri (25 votes).

Aaron Rodgers (44 votes) earned first team All-Pro honors, while Tony Romo's three votes were enough to get him on the second team. Tom Brady received two votes.

Jamie Collins, Dont'a Hightower, Devin McCourty, Sebastian Vollmer and Dan Connolly also received votes.

For Gronkowski, the honor marks the third time he's been voted as an All-Pro. He played in 15 games this season, catching 82 passes for 1,124 yards and 12 touchdowns. He was first among tight ends in yards and tied for first in touchdowns.
