Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt received only 45 of a possible 50 votes for All-Pro at his listed position of defensive end. But five voters voted him at defensive tackle, which means all 50 voters felt J.J. Watt’s historic season was worthy of first-team All-Pro selection. Technically, he’s a first team performer at defensive end and since only three players received more votes at defensive tackle – he’s also a second team All-Pro at that position as well. No other Houston player received any votes.
