The Pittsburgh Steelers are preparing for the Baltimore Ravens in the Wild Card Round of the AFC Playoffs Saturday night, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t regular season accolades still to be earned by some of the top players in the NFL. Just a few days ago both Chris Boswell and Miles Killebrew were honored by the NFLPA for All-Pro status, but the Associated Press (AP) had yet to put out their All-Pro team.

That happened Friday, and two Steelers were given the honor of being named a 1st Team AP All-Pro players. They were Chris Boswell and Cam Heyward.

Boswell, who was also selected to the Pro Bowl Games, was voted to the AP All-Pro team for the first time in his career.

He connected on an NFL high 41 of 44 field goal attempts this season (93.2%). He was also perfect on 35 extra point attempts. He made 13 field goals of 50 or more yards this season. He also led the NFL in points by a kicker (158) and field goal percentage (93.2, min. 35 FGA), and ranked second in field goals attempted (44) in 2024.

Boswell set a Steelers record for 41 field goals made, which were the most by a kicker in the NFL since David Akers in 2011 (44) and second-most by a kicker since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger. Boswell also set a Steelers record for most points by a kicker with 158, which was tied for the fifth-most by a kicker since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger.

Heyward, who was selected to the Pro Bowl Games, has made the AP All-Pro team for the fifth time in his career, including first-team a total of four times and second-team once. He joins Hall of Famer Joe Greene as the only interior defensive linemen in Steelers history to be voted First-Team AP All-Pro four times.

He had one of his most consistent seasons in 2024, remaining healthy and starting all 17 games.

Heyward recorded 71 tackles, 35 of them solo stops, eight sacks, 12 tackles for a loss, 19 quarterback hits and 11 passes defensed in 2024.

As for second team All-Pro, that distinction was handed to Steelers outside linebacker T.J. Watt.

Watt, who was voted the Steelers Most Valuable Player for a record fifth time this year and also selected to the Pro Bowl Games, was selected AP All-Pro for the fifth time in his career, four times first-team and this year second-team.

Watt started all 17 games, finishing with 61 tackles, 40 of them solo stops. He had 11.5 sacks, 19 tackles for a loss, 27 quarterback hits, six forced fumbles, four passes defensed, three strip sacks, and two fumble recoveries. He is the only player in the NFL that ranks among the top six in the League in strip sacks (t-1st), forced fumbles (1st), quarterback hits (6th), fumble recoveries (t-7th), sacks (8th) and tackles for loss (2nd) in 2024.
