Wilson makes All-Pro second team at KR

After leading the NFL in kickoff return yards in 2012, rookie David Wilson has been named to The Associated Press All-Pro second team as a kick returner.

Wilson garnered three votes of the national panel of 50 media members, while Baltimore’s Jacoby Jones earned first-team honors at the position with 37.5.

Wilson, who was the only Giant to pick up All-Pro accolades this season, finished with 1,533 return yards, including 227 against the New Orleans Saints in Week 14 when he also broke a 97-yard return touchdown. In that game, Wilson became the only player in NFL history with at least 200 kickoff return yards and 100 rushing yards in a single contest.

Two other Giants received All-Pro votes. Guard Chris Snee picked up two while safety Stevie Brown had six votes.
