Two weeks after a team-record 10 Carolina Panthers were named to the Pro Bowl, another franchise best was blown out of the water.
Six Panthers were on Friday named to the Associated Press All-Pro First Team. That doubles the previous team high of three players set in 1996 and 2013.
Panthers' 2015 First-Team All-Pros
QB Cam Newton
FB Mike Tolbert
C Ryan Kalil
LB Luke Kuechly
LB Thomas Davis
CB Josh Norman
The total of six first-teamers ties for the second-most since the 1970 merger. The NFL record was set in 1962 when 10 Packers were honored.
It's the first career appearance for Newton, Davis and Norman on the list while Tolbert, Kalil and Kuechly show up on the first team for the second time.
DT Kawann Short was named to the second team, behind St. Louis' Aaron Donald and Cincinnati's Geno Atkins. TE Greg Olsen also landed on the second team, behind New England's Rob Gronkowski.
