Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt has been named a unanimous selection to the Associated Press All-Pro team for 2014. Watt received 45 votes for defensive end and 5 votes as defensive tackle, giving him a place on both the first and second teams of the defense.

Watt becomes the third player in NFL history to be placed on the team with two different positions, joining Justin Smith from 2001, (defensive tackle and defensive end,) and Deion Sanders in 1992, (kick returner and cornerback.) The only difference is that Watt received all 50 votes from the AP making him a unanimous selection.

Watt talked about his selection to the 2014 All-Pro Team:

"Being named a unanimous All-Pro is a great honor and I'm very humbled. No player ever makes it happen by themselves. I am very fortunate to have great family, teammates, coaches, trainers, strength staff, equipment staff, cafeteria workers. The list goes on. I look forward to working hard in the future to continue to try and represent Houston in the best manner possible."

In 2014, Watt has 78 total tackles, 20.5 sacks, 10 pass deflections, 1 interception, 4 forced fumbles, and 5 total touchdowns (3 receiving, 2 defensive.)

More impressive was Watt’s total defensive disruptions on the season 119 total disruptions (20.5 sacks, 44 quarterback hits, 54 quarterback hurries).

This is the third consecutive season that Watt has been named an AP All-Pro.
