After already previously making the Associated Press All-Pro first-team last week, it was announced on Monday that Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown and running back Le’Veon Bell both made the All-NFL team as chosen in voting conducted by the Pro Football Writers of America.
Brown and Bell were the only two Steelers players to make the All-AFC team as the PFWA chose New York Jets center Nick Mangold over Pittsburgh’s Maurkice Pouncey.
Last year Brown was the only Steelers player recognized by the PFWA as he was voted to the ALL-AFC Team.
The Professional Football Writers of America states that they are the official voice of pro football writers, promoting and fighting for access to NFL personnel to best serve the public. The association is made up of accredited writers who cover the NFL and the 32 teams on a daily basis.
