The votes are in, and both Pro Bowl athletes for the Seattle Seahawks are now All Pro.
Russell Wilson is second team, and Bobby Wagner is first team. It’s the first time for Wilson and a rather ridiculous fifth time for Wagner.

Russell Wilson was beat out by this year’s likely MVP, Lamar Jackson. Bobby Wagner came in alongside Demario Davis of the New Orleans Saints and Eric Kendricks of the Minnesota Vikings.
The full All-Pro list can be found at NFL.com here.
Fans may also notice Richard Sherman sitting there at Second-Team All-Pro. This is a massive blow to the San Francisco 49ers’ cap space. John Gilbert has highlighted the potential problems for the Niners now that Sherman is playing at a high level once again, and this should be an interesting development for them next season.
That makes three members of the 2013-14 Super Bowl Seahawks who are All-Pro this season, albeit one on a divisional rival.
Congratulations and well-deserved respect to both Bobby Wagner and Russell Wilson!
