Bell, Brown, but No Pouncey Make All-NFL
Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell each made the All-NFL team as chosen in voting conducted by the Pro Football Writers of America, repeating their results from the Associated Press All-Pro team previously announced.
However, another All-Pro from the Steelers, center Maurkice Pounce, made neither the Writers’ All-NFL nor All-AFC team.
--- In another news, the Steelers announced they had re-signed offensive lineman Chris Hubbard to a one-year contract. Hubbard was on their roster in 2014.
