Three Former Longhorns Earn All-Pro Nods
Devin Duvernay and Justin Tucker represented the Baltimore Ravens, and the Texas Longhorns, on the 2021 Associated Press All-Pro Team, released on Friday.
Former Longhorns punter Michael Dickson earned a nod on the NFL.com All-Pro team.
Tucker made the team as a placekicker, while Duvernay made the team as a punt returner.
This is Tucker’s fifth All-Pro selection. Tucker previously earned All-Pro nods in 2013, 2016, 2018 and 2019. Tucker made 35 of his 37 field goals on the season, including a new NFL-record 66-yarder, which won a game for the Ravens in Week 3. Tucker also made all 32 of his extra points. Of his 90 kickoffs, 47 of them were touchbacks.
This is Duvernay’s first All-Pro selection. As a punt returner, Duvernay had 26 returns for a 13.85-yard average. While he didn’t score a touchdown on a punt return, he had one of the best averages in the NFL. He also saw his most extensive work as a wide receiver, catching 33 passes for 272 yards and two touchdowns.
Dickson, who plays for Seattle, led the NFL with 21 punts of 50 yards or more and had a net punting average of 41.7 yards. More than half of his punts ended up inside the 20-yard line.
Duvernay and Tucker were selected to the Pro Bowl, which is set to be played on Feb. 6 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
The Ravens went 8-9 on the season and failed to make the playoffs.
