Manning, Clark, Freeney selected to All-Pro Team

"Chris Johnson didn't take any votes away from NFL Most Valuable Player Peyton Manning. The Tennessee running back didn't miss any for The Associated Press All-Pro team.

The 2,000-yard rusher for the Titans was the only unanimous choice for the squad, announced Thursday. He's joined in the backfield by Manning, who won an unprecedented fourth MVP award last week, when four quarterbacks were the only players to receive votes.

Manning, chosen for the fifth time, was joined by two teammates, tight end Dallas Clark and defensive end Dwight Freeney.

For setting the league mark for yards from scrimmage and becoming the sixth 2,000-yard rusher in NFL history, Johnson got all 50 votes from a nationwide panel of sports writers. One other player, San Francisco inside linebacker Patrick Willis, came close with 49. Cornerbacks Charles Woodson of Green Bay, the Defensive Player of the Year, and Darrelle Revis of the New York Jets each got 48, as did Oakland punter Shane Lechler.

Johnson, who won the Offensive Player of the Year award Wednesday, is still miffed he was shut out of the MVP voting.

"I feel like if you put a season out there, out of those dudes who got votes or the dudes who won, I wouldn't feel they had a better season than I had, and broke as many records in one season (as I did)," he said.

Baltimore linebacker Ray Lewis was chosen for the seventh time. Joining Manning as five-time selections were Minnesota guard Steve Hutchinson, Vikings defensive tackle Kevin Williams and Lechler."
