Micah Parsons Named First-Team All-Pro; These Nine Packers Received Votes

GREEN BAY, Wis. – Even though he missed the final three games of the season with a torn ACL, Green Bay Packers defensive end Micah Parsons was named a first-team All-Pro on Saturday. Xavier McKinney earned second-team honors.

“That’s great. Needed that for real,” Parsons told The AP. “Look forward to trying to get back to that same status this offseason.”

The AP All-Pro is considered the official team. It is selected by a national panel of 50 voters. First-place votes are worth three points and a second-place vote is worth one point.

Nine Packers players received at least a second-place vote.

Receivers: Christian Watson

Christian Watson came back from a torn ACL and played in 10 games, catching 35 passes for 611 yards (17.5 average) and six touchdowns. He received one second-place vote. Here’s the vote, meaning he was deemed one of the six best receivers in the league.

Puka Nacua, Los Angeles Rams, 150 (50); Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Seattle, 150 (50); Ja’Marr Chase, Cincinnati, 102 (26); George Pickens, Dallas, 91 (21); Amon-Ra St. Brown, Detroit, 54 (3); Chris Olave, New Orleans, 23; Nico Collins, Houston, 16; Davante Adams, Los Angeles Rams, 5; Zay Flowers, Baltimore, 4; Stefon Diggs, New England, 1; Justin Jefferson, Minnesota, 1; CeeDee Lamb, Dallas, 1; Cortland Sutton, Denver, 1; Christian Watson, Green Bay, 1.

Right Tackles: Zach Tom

Last year, Zach Tom received the third-most points in voting. This year, injuries held him to 12 games (and limited him in others), so he slipped to vote. Chicago’s Darnell Wright ascended to second-team status. Here’s the vote.

Penei Sewell, Detroit, 137 (45); Darnell Wright, Chicago, 31 (5); Lane Johnson, Philadelphia, 12; Zach Tom, Green Bay, 7; Colton McKivitz, San Francisco, 5; Mike McGlinchey, Denver, 4; Roger Rosengarten, Baltimore, 2; Brian O’Neill, Minnesota, 1; Terence Steele, Dallas, 1.
