Standout seasons for Fred Warner and Garett Bolles landed them on The Associated Press All-Pro team for the first time in their careers.
It’s old-hat for Bobby Wagner, though, as three players who played at Utah colleges made the team for the 2020 season.
Warner, the former BYU linebacker, earned first-team honors along with Wagner, of Utah State. Bolles, who prepped at Westlake High and played at Utah and Snow College, took home second-team honors.
Warner led San Francisco with a career-high 118 tackles, including 72 solo, and added a sack, six pass deflections, two interceptions, two fumble recoveries and a forced fumble. He also was named to the Pro Bowl for the first time this season.
Bolles was Denver’s lone representative on the All-Pro team. He did not allow a single sack all season, according to Pro Football Focus, and he had the best pass-blocking grade among tackles who played at least 800 snaps in 2020.
Wagner helped Seattle reach the playoffs for the eight time in nine years while putting up a team-high 136 tackles (79 solo), three sacks, eight pass deflections and a fumble recovery. Wagner’s five straight first-team All-Pro honors is second only to six straight from Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald.
