Antonio Brown Named To PFF All Pro Team

ProFootballFocus has released the selections for their All Pro team. Antonio Brown and Chicago’s Brandon Marshall are the two wide receivers that have made the grade. This comes only a few days after being named 2nd team All Pro.

Here’s what they had to say about the selection-

It wasn’t easy leaving out players like Josh Gordon, Demaryius Thomas and A.J. Green (to name three), but we’re happy with what we’re left with. It’s rare that a receivers blocking plays much part in our decision making, but when you can complement 1,295 yards and 12 touchdowns with a +17.0 run blocking grade (the next highest was +6.2) you get a true every-down wide receiver weapon in Marshall. Brown would finish the year our top-ranked pure receiving wide-out, but might consider him lucky that a player like Calvin Johnson missed so much time over the season.

Brown earned the highest receiving score of all wide outs this year from PFF.
