Three Denver Broncos were named to the Associated Press All-Pro Team on Friday. They all play on the same side of the ball. I bet you can figure out which one.
Outside linebacker Von Miller and cornerbacks Aqib Talib and Chris Harris Jr. each were named First-Team All-Pro by a panel of 50 sports writers and broadcasters who cover the NFL.
Miller finished the season with 13 1/2 sacks and three forced fumbles. This marks the third time he's been First-Team All-Pro, and the fifth time in six seasons he made either the First Team or Second Team.
Harris and Talib both earned First-Team All-Pro honors for the first time in their careers.
Harris, chosen at the lone defensive backs spot for his versatility and shut-down ability with Denver this season, was Second-Team All-Pro in 2014 and 2015.
Talib, 30, remarkably had the best season of his career after drunkenly shooting himself in the leg in June. He snatched one chain and allowed zero touchdown passes all season.
