Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell and defensive tackle Cam Heyward received first-team All-Pro honors from the Associated Press, it was revealed on Friday afternoon. Outside linebacker T.J. Watt was named second-team All-Pro.

Boswell, who was 41 of 44 on field goal attempts in 2024, nearly broke an NFL single-season record. The record is 44 field goals, set by San Francisco 49ers kicker David Akers in 2011.

Boswell was clutch for the Steelers this season, converting on 13 of 15 field goal attempts from 50+ yards. Hes also was 35 of 35 on extra points this year. With those kind of numbers, it’s not surprising that Boswell was named first-team All-Pro by the AP.

Last Thursday, it was announced that Boswell received Pro Bowl honors. It’s the second time in Boswell’s career that he’s accomplished that feat. The other time was in 2017. This is the first time that he’s been named first-team All-Pro.
