CBSSports.com 2012 NFL All-Pro Team

Sometimes it's pretty easy to identify the best of the best. Calvin Johnson broke the NFL single-season receiving yard record. Adrian Peterson topped 2,000 yards. J.J. Watt topped 20 sacks and terrorized opposing quarterbacks. Von Miller? Nobody dances better.

Then sometimes it's not so easy. Blair Walsh beat Sebastian Janikowski by one vote. Yeah, they're just kickers.

But A.J. Green narrowly lost out to Brandon Marshall, who enjoyed playing alongside Jay Cutler again.

And at quarterback, Tom Brady received more than 50 percent of the vote over the bionic Peyton Manning.

There were no runaway teams, but the San Francisco 49ers placed three players on the team.

Give it a look, tell us in the comments where we went wrong, and check back next week for our 2012 NFL Awards. -- Eric Kay, assistant managing editor
