Rhodes, Smith Named to All-NFL Team by PFWA

Another week, another round of honors for Xavier Rhodes and Harrison Smith.

Already named First-Team All-Pros by the Associated Press, the cornerback and safety were named to the 2017 All-NFL Team by the Professional Football Writers of America, the PFWA announced Monday.

Rhodes has been the shutdown corner on a defense that has held opponents to a passer rating of 73.0, third best in the NFL. He recorded two interceptions, nabbing multiple interceptions in back-to-back seasons for the first time in his career, and tallied 10 passes defensed.
