Watt voted to fourth consecutive All-Pro team 1 / 15 Back to Gallery

Texans defensive end J.J. Watt and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins were voted to The Associated Press All-Pro Team on Friday.

Watt, 26, was voted First Team All-Pro for a fourth consecutive season. He was a unanimous selection.

Hopkins, 23, was voted Second Team All-Pro by a panel of 50 members of the media.

Watt and Hopkins, who will help the Texans try to beat Kansas City in an AFC Wild-Card game today at NRG Stadium, also were voted to the Pro Bowl.

Watt has a chance to join former New York Giants outside linebacker Lawrence Taylor as the only players to win the NFL Defensive Player of the Year Award three times.

Watt has to wait until Feb. 6 to find out if he becomes a three-time winner.

Individual awards for most valuable player, defensive player, offensive player, coach, comeback player, offensive rookie and defensive rookie will not be disclosed until the NFL Honors Awards Show on Feb. 6, the night before Super Bowl 50 in Santa Clara, Calif. The show will be televised by CBS.

Watt, the Texans’ first-round pick from Wisconsin in 2011, has never missed a game in his five seasons. He won the NFL Defensive Player of the Year Award after the 2012 and 2014 seasons.

Watt’s primary competition for the award is expected to be St. Louis defensive tackle Aaron Donald and Carolina cornerback Josh Norman.

Despite playing three games with a cast on his left hand, basically making him a one-armed player, Watt led the NFL with 17 ½ sacks, 29 tackles for loss and 50 hits on the quarterback.

Watt also registered 76 tackles, including 56 unassisted. He had eight passes deflected at the line of scrimmage, forced three fumbles and recovered one.

In his third season, Hopkins became one of the league’s best at his position. Playing with four different starting quarterbacks, Hopkins caught 111 passes for 1,521 yards and a team-record 11 touchdowns.

Hopkins ranked third in the NFL in receptions and yards and tied seventh for touchdowns.

Hopkins was joined on the second team by Brandon Marshall of the New York Jets.
