The Associated Press revealed its All-Pro teams on Friday and, to no one's surprise who was predicting these things before the 2017 season started, there are lots of Rams and Jaguars on the first-team squad. WAIT WHAT? Yup, the Rams, the No. 3 seed in the NFC, loaded up on All-Pro players, headlined by Todd Gurley and Aaron Donald, along with a number of different special teams guys.

There were plenty of familiar faces, including Tom Brady -- you might know him from a tension-filled story about the Pats that dropped the same day -- and Rob Gronkowski -- he now gets to unlock a $2.5 million bonus in his contract, party on Wayne, party on Garth -- as well as Steelers stalwarts Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell.

The Jags are well represented on the defensive side of the ball, with Calais Campbell and Jalen Ramsey serving as obvious names. The Vikings are there too, as they should be, although no Everson Griffen on the first team seems odd. It's an indication just how good some of the pass rushers were this year.

To the teams!
