The NFL Players Association released their All-Pro Team on Wednesday. This is the All-Pro squad voted on by the players themselves. The Pittsburgh landed two on the team but probably not the guys you might be expecting.
The NFLPA didn’t include defensive tackle Cameron Heyward or EDGE defender T.J. Watt. Instead, it was the Steelers special teams that took center stage with kicker Chris Boswell, and special teams ace Miles Killebrew getting the nod.
Boswell led the NFL in scoring this season. Boswell finished with 158 points or an average of 9.3 points per game. As a team the Steelers averaged 22.4 points per game. Boswell went 41-for-44 on field goal tries this season and was a perfect 35-for-35 on his extra points.
Killebrew is listed as a safety but makes his money on coverage teams. He’s one of the best kick blockers in the NFL and a team captain.
