ProFootballWeekly.com - PFW/PFWA 2012 All-NFL team
Broken down by team, the 49ers set the pace with four selections, followed closely by the Broncos, Patriots, Seahawks and Vikings, each with three representatives. The Texans, Ravens and Bears each added two players to the mix, with five other teams providing one selection each — the Lions, Dolphins, Bengals, Chargers and Bills.
There are five players on the team who were not voted to the Pro Bowl — Vikings C John Sullivan, Seahawks CB Richard Sherman, Chargers S Eric Weddle, Niners P Andy Lee and Bills PR Leodis McKelvin, who was aced out because the Pro Bowl acknowledges only one kick returner from each conference.
OG Mike Iupati / 49ers A starter in every game since being drafted with the 17th pick in the 2010 draft, this mellow Samoan is a much different breed of cat on the field, displaying a natural nasty streak that makes his physically imposing stature even more menacing on arguably the league’s best run-blocking O-line.
ILB Patrick Willis / 49ers Like Miller, Willis was an instant sensation at the NFL level, earning Pro Bowl berths in each of his six seasons. Working alongside ascending star NaVorro Bowman, Willis is considered “a five-tool linebacker who plays downhill better than any linebacker in football” according to head coach Jim Harbaugh. One of the league’s surest tacklers, Willis (120 tackles) continues to make big strides as a pass defender (two interceptions, nine passes defensed in ’12).
OLB Aldon Smith / 49ers Benefiting immensely from the dominant inside presence of teammate Justin Smith, whose beautifully choreographed stunts are often the keys to him getting to the opposing passer, Aldon Smith picked up this season where he left off last season, when his 14 sacks were the second most by a rookie in league history. Particularly effective in prime-time games, Smith finished second in the league and first in the NFC with 19½ sacks in his first season in an every-down role.
P Andy Lee / 49ers The co-winner of the Golden Toe Award last season, Lee had another banner season in ’12. In addition to tying for the league lead with a 43.2-yard net average, he ranked third in the league with 36 punts downed inside the 20-yard line.
