The Associated Press announced the All-Pro team for 2019. The Arizona Cardinals had one player make the cut and, not surprisingly, it is pass rusher Chandler Jones.
Jones and Pittsburgh Steelers pass rusher T.J. Watt were the two edge defenders named to the first team.
Jones was second in the NFL with 19 sacks, trailing only Shaquil Barrett of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He set a franchise record and twice had four sacks in a game, only the third player in NFL history to do so and the first to do it in 33 years. He also led the NFL with eight forced fumbles and seven strip-sacks.
Jones led edge defenders with 32 votes. Tampa Bay’s Barrett made the second team with 18 votes.
Jones also received two All-Pro votes at linebacker.
Jones was named defensive player of the week twice and defensive player of the month once.
Cardinals safety Budda Baker received four All-Pro votes at safety.
