Mike ChiariJan 3, 2020

The Associated Press announced its NFL All-Pro Teams for the 2019 season Friday, and the first team featured a rare occurrence as Carolina Panthers star Christian McCaffrey made the squad as both a running back and flex player.

NFL Network's James Palmer provided a full look at the All-Pro First Team, which also features Baltimore Ravens quarterback and presumed NFL MVP Lamar Jackson:

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas and New England Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore were the only unanimous choices, and the Ravens led all teams with five selections in Jackson, offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley, kicker Justin Tucker, and cornerbacks Marcus Peters and Marlon Humphrey.

This marks the first time in McCaffrey's three-year NFL career that he has been named a first-team All-Pro. He led the NFL in touches (403), yards from scrimmage (2,392) and touchdowns (19).

McCaffrey also made 116 receptions, marking his second consecutive 100-catch year. He joined Marshall Faulk and Roger Craig as the only players in NFL history to record over 1,000 yards rushing and 1,000 yards receiving in the same season.

In his second NFL season, Jackson threw for an NFL-leading 36 touchdowns and was intercepted just six times. He also set the single-season record for quarterback rushing yards with 1,206 and went 13-2 as a starter.

If not for the presence of Jackson, Thomas would be a strong candidate to be the first wide receiver in NFL history to be named the Associated Press MVP. He set the single-season record with 149 receptions to go along with 1,725 yards and nine touchdowns.

Other statistical leaders recognized as first-team All-Pros include Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner (159 tackles), plus Gilmore and Buffalo Bills cornerback Tre'Davious White (six interceptions).

Both Wagner and Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald are now five-time first-team All-Pros, while Dallas Cowboys guard Zack Martin and Tucker are four-timers. Chicago Bears kick returner Cordarrelle Patterson, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce and Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins are all three-time first-team All-Pros.

Among the notable first-timers on the All-Pro First Team are San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle, Pittsburgh Steelers edge-rusher T.J. Watt and Steelers defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick, who Pittsburgh acquired via trade from the Miami Dolphins during the season.
