The Pro Football Writers of America announced their All-NFL, All-AFC/NFC, and All-Rookie teams on Tuesday, with a couple of Miami Dolphins landing on the list. For the All-AFC Team, Miami was represented by cornerback Xavien Howard, while the All-Rookie team included kicker Jason Sanders. A surprising name not listed for the Dolphins was rookie defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick.
Howard tied for the league lead in interceptions this season with seven, despite missing the final four games of the year with a knee injury. He was selected to his first Pro Bowl and finished the year with 35 tackles, one fumble recovery, 12 passes defensed, and the seven interceptions.
