After one of the most entertaining and transitional seasons in National Football League history, the 50 voters for the Associated Press 2012 All-NFL team seemed to be on the same page naming stars, with one mega-exception.

There are two unanimous selections, Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson and Houston Texans defensive lineman J. J. Watt, as expected. Watt was one of 17 first-timers on the All-Pro roster, reflecting a 2012 season that was highlighted by new stars.

However, when it came to unanimity, it was also expected that Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin "Megatron" Johnson, who broke Jerry Rice's single-season record for yards receiving, would have his name on every ballot.

But Johnson is one short of unanimous. He was not named by Tim Ryan, wh is an analyst for FOX Sports and Sirius Radio.

"Of course he had a great year and he is a great receiver, but I look at more than statistics and I thought a couple of other receivers had a better season, Brandon Marshall and A.J. Green," Ryan told The Sports Xchange.

"Johnson was targeted a lot and was often the only thing the Lions had going, but he also dropped a lot of passes and they did lose 12 games. I felt Marshall helped Chicago win games and Green helped Cincinnati win games. I think that is more important than statistics."

Johnson caught 122 passes for 1,964 yards, breaking Rice's record of 1,848 yards, but falling short of becoming the first wide receiver to total 2,000 yards in a season. However, despite those statistical prolifics, Johnson scored only five touchdowns while Marshall and Green had 11 each.

Marshall is alongside Johnson on the All-NFL first team, while Green is on the second team.

The easiest pick of the year was Peterson, surpassed all expectations except his own as he came back from major knee surgery on Dec. 31, 2011, and rushed for 2,097 yards, nine short of breaking the single season record by Eric Dickerson.

Watt, listed as a defensive end by his team, the league and on this All-Pro roster, played inside over the guard more often than not, which made his 20.5 sacks even more impressive, especially considering he was one of the very best run-stuffers as well.
