The Associated Press 1st team All-Pro teams were released today and for the first time since the conclusion of the 2006 season a Jacksonville Jaguar made the team. Maurice Jones-Drew, the NFL's leading rusher for the 2011 season, earned the honor, making him just the fifth member of the Jaguars to do so.
The other 1st team All-Pro running back behind Jones-Drew was LeSean McCoy of the Philadelphia Eagles who finished fourth in the league in rushing, but had a league-leading 17 rushing touchdowns. No other Jaguars made the team.

This happened when I didn't follow the jags. What happened?

He was playing for the Skins when this happened
I believe it was the Cowboys and they came through to block the punt, he tried to run and got smothered. His face rubbed against the turf and this is what happened.

As if anyone else deserved it??
No other RB faces 8-10 man fronts everygame and still leads the league in rushing and funniest TD dances…

Congrats MJD and very well desrved!
If he breaks the 10000 yard – 100 TD line(with maybe a little post-season success…), I think he will be a guarantee Hall of Famer.

thats about
2 1/2 seasons in yardage, and 3-4 in rushing touchdowns, all though could be 1in all purpose.
Anyone interested in making money easy and quick on the interne, let me know through twitter or facebook(preferably facebook).

On one leg or two?
Lol. Jp. I knew what you meant

Good for him!
As said above, it was very much well deserved.
If the passing game is able to catch up to the run game while MJD is still in his prime and the defense can maintain the 2011 season level of play, this will be a very hard team to beat.
Maybe...
but at the same time, the defense deserves some credit for a few of those wins too.
All the games we could have and should have won
Is really all thanks to the D, they really really stepped it up this year and kept us in them for as long as possible

Dang Tony Bosselli was good!
Like I knew he was good but man…

Where the hell is greg jones in all this
Didnt get a single vote…

John Kuhn of all people getting the second-most votes for FBs is garbage.
Green Bay’s running game was atrocious this season, yet he gets more votes than Greg? Talk about lazy voting(if you’re gonna have that position be voted on, then you should, you know, do your freakin’ homework).
MJD got 40 out of 50 votes
McCoy only got 29 edging Rice with 24. (Each person selects 2 backs). Good to see MJD getting a lot of love from the AP.
"I love lamp"
The way I look at it is
which other back could have done as well as MoJo on this team, and could MoJo have done as well as he on his team?
I think few could have done as well as he did. And I don’t think there are many where he couldn’t have matched or exceeded their performance.

Only 2 RBs in the league can do that with this team
And that’s Peterson and Forte. That’s it
He's a man's man...
Bogged down in an offense going nowhere fast, and watching the defense make slow trek to the IR, you never once saw a lack of effort from Mojo. Nothing makes me prouder to be a Jag than the way he plays the game. I just hope we get this thing rolling before we wear him out.
save your attitude i got one of my own
