Two Alabama Football Standouts Named AP All-Americans

In this story:
Alabama football had numerous players help lead the Crimson Tide to the No. 9 spot in the College Football Playoff, and a couple stood out among the entire country throughout the season.
Alabama left tackle Kadyn Proctor and safety Bray Hubbard were both named All-Americans by the Associated Press on Monday. Proctor is on the AP All-American Second Team, while Hubbard made the Third Team.
The Associated Press is one of the five All-American teams the NCAA uses for determining consensus and unanimous status. The other four include the American Football Coaches Association, Football Writers Association of America, the Sporting News and Walter Camp. A player needs three of these five organizations to select him as a First Team member in order to reach consensus status, while all five must include his name to be a unanimous selection.
Proctor was named to the Walter Camp All-American First Team this past Friday. The AP All-American Third Team is Hubbard's first distinction.
This comes one week after the conference released its All-SEC teams, as Proctor and Hubbard made the First Team, quarterback Ty Simpson and linebacker Deontae Lawson represented the Second Team and center Parker Brailsford landed on the Third Team. The Associated Press also shared its All-SEC teams last week, as Proctor and Hubbard are on the First Team and Simpson is on the Second Team.
