Mack an AP All-Pro at 2 positions; Peterson, Watt unanimous

Khalil Mack has made All-Pro history.

This year, Mack made the All-Pro’s first team at both the defensive end and outside linebacker spots. “I’m a team guy”, said Mack, who had 15.5 sacks (five in one game), behind only Watt (17.5) in the league. That tied Howie Long’s franchise single-game sack record.

NFL.com quoted Mack speaking on his skill-set and All-Pro selection saying, “I do whatever I can to help the team win”.

Bowman annually earned All-Pro honors from 2011-13 before missing the 2014 season while recovering from knee reconstruction.

“That’s another goal check off my list”, Norman said. Next season the individual and team goals for Mack will be even higher as a run at Defensive Player of the Year as well as the playoffs are within range for the Silver and Black’s defensive star. “All of these other accolades will fall into place”.

Quinn’s first task will be to decide whether to retain or fire Coach Jim Caldwell.

Telesco says the organization “has a belief in Mike, and a confidence in him”.

Peterson was selected to the second team in his rookie season of 2007 and in 2013. He was 9-7 his first two seasons.
