The Associated Presses All-Pro team is out! This is the big one and the one that everybody counts on their resumes. Well, five Detroit Lions are now going to be able to add that to their resumes and can now call themselves All-Pro's. Here's who made it:
First Team
Amon-Ra St. Brown: You can keep your Pro Bowl votes. St. Brown is now a first team All-Pro receiver. The first Lions receiver to do so since Calvin Johnson last did it in 2013. St. Brown had an amazing regular season finishing third in the NFL in receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns. A well deserved honor.
Penei Sewell: He's the best tackle in football. There's no doubt about that at all. He notches his first All-Pro appearance at just 23-years-old. Imagine what the future looks liek for him. He's the first Lions tackle to gain this honor since Lomas Brown did it in 1995.
Second Team
Sam LaPorta: The rookie phenom makes an All-Pro team. Who could have seen this coming when the Lions took LaPorta at the top of the second round and draft experts couldn't believe they took him over Michael Mayer. LaPorta had one of the best tight end rookie seasons in NFL history. He becomes the first Lions tight end to make an All-Pro team since Charlie Sanders last did it in 1971.
Frank Ragnow: I personally think that Ragnow should have gotten first team honors here, but they gave it Eagles center Jason Kelce. Someone who hasn't played as well as Ragnow. What a year for Ragnow though. He did this while showing up on the injury report every week of the season. Ragnow is the first Lions center to be an All-Pro in franchise history.
Jalen Reeves-Maybin: The special teamer really deserves this one. He has been a career special teams guy and he has nailed it every single year and every single game. Any time there's a special teams tackle, you almost immediately credit it Reeves-Maybin becasue you're so used to seeing it happen. Reeves-Maybin is the first special teams player to be an All-Pro since Jamal Agnew in 2017.
