 The Panthers, who are 14-0 and seeking a rare perfect season, had
quarterback and MVP candidate Cam Newton selected along with
cornerback Josh Norman, tight end Greg Olsen and seven other players
from their roster.
Norman rival Odell Beckham Jr, who engaged in a highly physical
battle with the Carolina defender on Sunday that resulted in a
one-game ban for the Giants receiver, was also one of the highlights
among selections.
He is joined by a group of standout wide receivers that includes
Antonio Brown, Julio Jones and DeAndre Hopkins.
Seattle, Arizona and New England all boasted seven player
selections, including quarterbacks Tom Brady, Russell Wilson and
Carson Palmer.
On the defensive side, Houston's J.J. Watt and New York Jets
defensive back Darrelle Revis got the nod. Arizona's Tyrann Mathieu
was selected one day after it was announced he suffered a
season-ending ACL tear.
