It’s likely only the first of many accolades that various Steelers will be receiving over next month or two.
On Friday, Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt and safety Minkah Fitzpatrick were named to the Associated Press’ First-Team All-Pro on Friday.
It is the second year in a row that Watt was named to the AP’s list. He was also recently named the team MVP for the second year in a row.
Watt led the NFL in the regular season with 15 sacks, 23 tackles for a loss and 41 quarterback hits.
It is also the second year in a row for Fitzpatrick to be named to the AP’s list.
He led the team with 74 tackles, 11 passes defended, four interceptions, one tackle for a loss, one forced fumble and one recovered in the regular season.
Cleveland Browns linebacker Myles Garrett was named to the AP’s First-Team All-Pro team as well.
