The Miami Dolphins boasted the fewest nods (2), though the team's star pass rusher — Cameron Wake — was the only one of the bunch to crack the top 10.
The Buffalo Bills' crew — comprised of C.J. Spiller, Kyle Williams and Jairus Byrd — was the most impressive, with all three players showing up in the top 25. All three were also added to the final Pro Bowl roster this past January.
Three usually-underrated New York Jets players — Muhammad Wilkerson, Antonio Cromartie and Brandon Moore — were paid the honor they deserved after putting up solid yearlong performances despite the myriad distractions that surrounded the team all season.
