You want Associated Press All-American teams? You got AP All-American teams. All three of ‘em.
After winning the Heisman, Baylor’s Robert Griffin III highlights the first team, along with other Heisman finalists Trent Richardson, Montee Ball and Tyrann Matheiu. Andrew Luck leads the AP second team All-American selection.
The first team is made up of mostly juniors and seniors, but two freshman made the list: Clemson WR Sammy Watkins and LSU punter Brad Wing.
Just to show how deep the quarterback pool was this year in college football, USC’s Matt Barkley made third team A-A honors.
