"Left tackle Joe Thomas' goal of helping the Browns to a Super Bowl will have to wait, but he's been hitting his individual goals during his first five seasons.
Thomas was voted a first-team Associated Press NFL All-Pro for the third straight season by a panel of 50 media members Friday. He received 19 votes. The Philadelphia Eagles' Jason Peters, the other first-team tackle, received 27.
Thomas was the only Browns player named to the team and one of two to receive votes. Linebacker D'Qwell Jackson received two votes.
The honor came less than two weeks after Thomas was voted to his fifth straight Pro Bowl -- the first Browns player since running back Jim Brown to make it in each of his first five seasons.
One of Thomas' greatest sources of pride has been playing every offensive snap since being drafted No. 3 overall by the Browns in 2007.
He's started 80 straight games and hasn't missed a down. "
