It would be easy to suggest that Antonio Brown missed out on All-Pro honors because of last week’s trantrum.Or Mecole Hardman Jersey Mens , you could look at the numbers.The Steelers wideout did not make the list, despite leading the league in touchdown receptions.聽Of course, the other receivers named all put up better numbers in other categories.The first-team picks were Saints wideout Michael Thomas (125 receptions for 1,405 yards and nine touchdowns) and DeAndre Hopkins of the Texans (115-1,572-11).The second-team choices were Atlanta’s Julio Jones (113-1,677-8) and Kansas City’s Tyreek Hill (87-1,479-12).Thomas led the league in receptions. Jones led the league in receiving yards. All four are still involved in the playoffs, as well.Brown finished the year with 104 catches for 1,297 yards and 15 touchdowns. That’s ninth in the league in receptions and 11th in yards, and he was behind Steelers teammate (and team MVP JuJu Smith-Schuster 111-1,426-7) in both categories.In terms of raw votes Mecole Hardman Jersey Cheap , Hopkins led the way, named on 46 of the 50 ballots. Thomas was next with 21, followed by Jones (17), Hill (6), Davante Adams (4), and then Brown and聽Adam Thielen (2). Mike Evans and Smith-Schuster each got a single vote.Brown’s an amazing player, one of the best in the game. And if the Steelers decided to fold and trade him away this offseason, they’ll have teams lined up trying to acquire him. But it doesn’t necessarily require a conspiracy or a grudge to suggest he’s not one of this year’s top four players at his position. KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The attorney for Tyreek Hill sent a letter to the NFL on Thursday disputing claims made by the wide receiver’s fiancee of child abuse, offering a point-by-point response to a secret recording of them that was made public last week.In the four-page letter, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press Carlos Hyde Jersey , attorney N. Trey Pettlon also said that Hill was willing to cooperate with the league’s investigation.“(Hill) categorically denies he has ever ‘punched’ his son in the chest or anywhere on his body, or otherwise touched him in the chest in a mean-spirited manner,” Pettlon wrote, adding that the audio was recorded while Hill and his fiancee, Crystal Espinal, were considering separation.The NFL has declined to comment on the case. The Chiefs also have declined additional comment.The Chiefs suspended Hill indefinitely last Thursday, shortly after KCTV aired the recording in which the couple discusses injuries to their 3-year-old son. The following day, prosecutors in Johnson County, Kansas, reopened an investigation of Hill that had been closed for just 48 hours.During the audio, Espinal asks why the boy “kept saying Tyrann Mathieu Jersey , ‘Daddy punches me,’ which you do when he starts crying. What do you do? You make him open up his arms and you punch him in the chest.”Pettlon wrote there have been times that Hill has “tapped his son gently” and told him to “Man up, buddy,” or “Don’t cry, my man.” Pettlon also said that Hill has always done so in a “calm voice” and that he has never punched or used his fist as a form of punishment.“The only thing Tyreek does with his son that is close to what she is describing as ‘punching’ is when they are playing,” Pettlon wrote.Espinal also claims during the recording, made as the couple were walking through a Dubai airport, that Hill’s son is “terrified” of him. Hill responds, “You should be terrified of me, too, bitch.”“Instead of denying that his son was terrified of him a second time Damien Williams Jersey , something that has bothered him a great deal, he became frustrated and said she should be terrified, too,” Pettlon wrote. “That comment is inexcusable, of course, and he wouldn’t ask me to defend that here. That comment is also inconsistent with Tyreek’s conversations with Ms. Espinal over the past several months.”Pettlon said a forensic examiner has looked through extensive text messages between the couple and that never once does Hill call Espinal a derogatory name.In one exchange, according to Pettlon’s letter, Hill tells Espinal after their trip to Dubai: “Crystal you know I didn’t cause any bruising or harm to (our son) but for some reason I still may be charged.” Espinal replies: “I know you didn’t. I did. I hurt (our son). I’m the one that did it. I was hurt and mad you so I blamed you for everything.”Pettlon also said that Hill is currently engaged in both family and individual counseling, “and he is committed to improving his life and becoming the best parent he can be.”The Chiefs are in the midst of voluntary offseason workouts, and Hill has already been barred from attending, which is one reason the NFL has not placed him on the commissioner’s exempt list.Hill was drafted by the Chiefs despite a domestic abuse case in which he attacked Espinal while he was a student at Oklahoma State. Hill was kicked off the team there and wound up at West Alabama Derrick Thomas Jersey , and the Chiefs said at the time of the draft that he was undergoing counseling.That background, combined with the audio revealed hours before the start of last week’s NFL draft, generated a substantial outcry that Hill should be released by the Chiefs. Some have even said that Hill, one of the league’s best wide receivers, should never play in the NFL again.Pettlon said that Hill and Espinal continue to cooperate with investigators, and that District Attorney Steve Howe’s office has reviewed the audio tape and has yet to prosecute either party.“It should be clear by now that there is a lot of information, including other compelling evidence that points to Tyreek’s innocence, that is not a matter of public record and cannot be addressed in this letter,” Pettlon said. “All indications are that the criminal investigation is over and Tyreek still maintains his innocence.”
