Pro Bowl Wide Receivers
A first team, or primary vote gives a player 2 pts and a second team or runner-up vote gives a player 1 pt. Most points wins. Since 6 people voted, 12 pts would be a unanimous selection.
Pro Bowl Wide Receivers:
First Team: Larry Fitzgerald (10 pts, 4 1st place votes)
First Team: DeSean Jackson (6 pts, 3 1st place votes)
Second Team: Andre Johnson (4 pts, 2 1st place votes)
Second Team: Reggie Wayne (4 pts, no 1st team votes)
Also receiving votes: Percy Harvin (3 pts, 1 1st team vote), Randy Moss (3 pts, 1 1st team vote), Greg Jennings (2 pts, 1 1st team vote), Miles Austin (1 pt), Roddy White (1 pt), Donald Driver (1 pt), Anquan Boldin (1 pt)
Despite the fact that 11 different WRs received votes Fitzgerald appeared on every ballot, usually as a 1st teamer. This was an interesting list of players and people seemed to have very different approaches to picking their favorites here.
Fitzgerald clearly was the favorite of most but he was 2nd in total pts and 4th in pts per game.
My top 5 included all 4 pro-bowlers at this position. But I had Percy Harvin rated as my best WR this year and was the only top receiver I looked at who never scored fewer then 2 pts in a game this year. But after that I feel in line with the rest of the group with Jackson as my other first teamer and Fitzgerald as my top second teamer, Wayne as the other and Andre Johnson just missing out on my ballot.
This was another position with a wide array of options but my biggest surprise would be Greg Jennings who was not on my radar as a top WR. I was also a little surprised that Colston got no love.
