With the way the Pittsburgh Steelers offense performed this season, there’s a good chance that many of their players will receive some postseason recognition.
That started on Friday when three Steelers players were named to the 2014 All-Pro team.
Wide Receiver Antonio Brown (49 votes out of a potential 50), running back Le’Veon Bell (44) and center Maurkice Pouncey (21), all were voted onto the first team.
Linebacker Lawrence Timmons, who received four votes, was the only other Steelers player to receive any votes.
The AP 2014 NFL All-Pro team is selected by a national panel of 50 media members (first-team selections are bolded and italicized, and number of votes received out of a possible 50 follow the player’s name).
