Packers get 3 first-team All-Pros: Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams and De’Vondre Campbell

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers, WR Davante Adams and LB De’Vondre Campbell are all first-team All-Pros in 2021.

The Associated Press voted three members of the Green Bay Packers on the 2021 NFL All-Pro team: quarterback Aaron Rodgers, receiver Davante Adams and linebacker De’Vondre Campbell.

And all three are first-team selections, arguably the highest individual honor for a player in a given season.

Rodgers, a first-teamer for the second straight season, received 34 of the 50 possible votes at quarterback. Tom Brady received the other 16. With first-team All-Pro often mirroring AP voting for major awards, Rodgers appears to be a strong favorite to win NFL MVP. This is his fourth first-team All-Pro selection.

Rodgers tossed 37 touchdown passes and just four interceptions while leading the NFL in passer rating.

Adams, also a first-team selection for the second consecutive season, was a unanimous pick at wide receiver, receiving all 50 votes. He is joined at receiver by Cooper Kupp and Deebo Samuel.

Adams broke team records for receptions (123) and receiving yards (1,553).

Campbell made his first-ever All-Pro team after stuffing the stat sheet for the Packers as an impact inside linebacker in 2021. He received the third-most votes (18), trailing Micah Parsons and Darius Leonard.

Campbell delivered 146 total tackles and missed just four tackle attempts.

Defensive lineman Kenny Clark also received two All-Pro votes, but two wasn’t enough for second-team consideration.

Pair of Packers make PFF’s 2021 All-Pro team

Packers WR Davante Adams and LB De’Vondre Campbell were both first-team All-Pros in 2021 at Pro Football Focus.

Two members of the Green Bay Packers were named first-team All-Pros in 2021 by Pro Football Focus.

Record-breaking receiver Davante Adams and breakout star linebacker De’Vondre Campbell both made the team.

Adams, who finished with the top overall grade among receivers, averaged 2.82 yards per route run, ranking third among wide receivers. He finished second in the NFL in catches (123) and third in receiving yards (1,553), setting team records in both categories. His 11 touchdown catches were the fifth-most among receivers, and his seven touchdown catches from the slot were the second-most.

Campbell finished as the second-highest graded linebacker, trailing only rookie Micah Parsons, who also played on the edge. The Packers linebacker stuffed the stat sheet, tallying 53 stops, 10 pressures, two interceptions and two forced fumbles. He missed just four tackles and finished with a missed tackle percentage of 2.9, by far the best in the NFL among linebackers.

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers did not make the All-Pro team. Tom Brady and Joe Burrow were the two highest-graded quarterbacks at PFF in 2021.

Both Adams and Campbell are free agents following the 2021 season.

Packers have 4 first-team All-Pros in 2020

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers, receiver Davante Adams, center Corey Linsley and left tackle David Bakhtiari are all first-team All-Pros. 

The Associated Press voted four members of the Green Bay Packers to the first team of the NFL’s All-Pro Team in 2020.

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers, receiver Davante Adams, center Corey Linsley and left tackle David Bakhtiari are all first-team All-Pros.

The Packers tied the Indianapolis Colts with an NFL-high four first-team selections.

Adams and Linsley are first-time All-Pros. Rodgers has his third first-team selection (2011, 2014), while Bakhtiari now has two (2018).

Rodgers being voted as the first-team quarterback bodes well for his MVP chances. The same voters who vote for the All-Pro Team also vote for MVP. He received 46 of the 50 first-team votes. Rodgers threw an NFL-high 48 touchdown passes and had a league-best 121.5 passer rating.

Adams is the first Packers receiver to be voted first-team All-Pro since Antonio Freeman in 1998. He caught 18 touchdown passes, tying Sterling Sharpe’s team record and finished tied for third all-time. He received 49 of 50 first-team votes, nearly becoming an unanimous selection.

Linsley wasn’t a Pro Bowler, but he’s now a first-team All-Pro, a significant individual achievement for a veteran offensive lineman with an expiring contract.

Bakhtiari is just the seventh Packers offensive lineman with two or more first-team All-Pro selections in team history.

Cornerback Jaire Alexander and outside linebacker Za’Darius Smith were named second-team All-Pros.

Guard Elgton Jenkins, safety Adrian Amos and kicker Mason Crosby all received All-Pros votes but were not named to the team.

NFL-high 5 Packers make PFF’s All-Pro team in 2020

Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams, Corey Linsley, Jaire Alexander and Adrian Amos were all named Pro Football Focus All-Pros in 2020.

The All-Pro team released by Pro Football Focus for the 2020 NFL season includes an NFL-high five players from the Green Bay Packers.

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers, receiver Davante Adams, center Corey Linsley, cornerback Jaire Alexander and safety Adrian Amos were all named first-team All-Pros at their respective positions by PFF.

The Packers were the only team with at least five players on the All-Pro team.

While the Associated Press picks the widely recognized All-Pro team every year, PFF’s list has merit based on the site’s play-by-play analysis of every player on every play.

Last season, the Packers had only two PFF All-Pros (edge rusher Za’Darius Smith and punter JK Scott).

Some notes from PFF’s numbers on the Packers’ five All-Pros:

– Rodgers had 43 “big time throws” and only 11 “turnover worthy plays” in 2020.

– Adams led all players in yards per route run (2.96).

– Linsley allowed just three total pressures in 13 games.

– Alexander has the highest “forced incompletion rate” in the NFL at 22.1 percent.

– Amos led all NFL safeties in overall coverage grade in 2020.
