On Friday, the Associated Press named the AP 2014 NFL All-Pro Team.
Out of all the players in the NFL, there were only two unanimous selections. One was Houston Texans defensive end and all-around football god J.J. Watt. The other was notorious kitten lover Rob Gronkowski.
2 players – Texans DE J.J. Watt and Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski – were unanimous selections for the AP All-Pro team.
