San Francisco had the most representatives on the All-Pro team with five players, followed by Baltimore with three.

Logan Mankins received 10 All-Pro votes to earn second-team honors, twice as many votes as fellow Pro Bowl guard teammate Brian Waters.
Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson and Vikings defensive end Jared Allen received the most votes, each player earning 49 of 50 votes.
