Two Arizona Cardinals received votes for the AP NFL All-Pro team but neither player made the first or second team.

Patrick Peterson finished fifth in the voting for cornerbacks three votes shy of the Miami Dolphins’ Xavien Howard.

Punter Andy Lee finished tied for fourth with five votes but behind division-foes Seattle Seahawks punter Michael Dickson and Los Angeles Rams punter Johnny Hekker, who made the first and second teams, respectively.

Cardinals edge rusher Chandler Jones finished with no votes despite finishing tied for eighth in the NFL in sacks.

Nine players received votes at the edge rusher position, including first team selection Khalil Mack and second team selection Danielle Hunter, who both finished with less sacks than Jones.

Among the 32 NFL teams, nine did not have a player represented on either the first or second team. Those teams were the Bills, Bengals, Titans, Jaguars, Raiders, Redskins, Lions, Buccaneers and Cardinals.

Votes were submitted by a panel of 50 media members.
