It's not much of a surprise to anyone who has watched the Carolina Panthers in 2015 that they're getting all kinds of love from the postseason All-NFL and All-NFC teams. Most recently, the Pro Football Writers of America put out their votes, which resulted in plenty of praise for the many stars on the Panthers.

As Profootballwriters.org points out, the Panthers had the most players in the NFL named to their All-NFL team.

This group included top MVP candidate quarterback Cam Newton, linebacker Luke Kuechly, cornerback Josh Norman and center Ryan Kalil.

The love didn't stop there though either, as the Panthers also saw three additional players named to the All-NFC team. This group featured tight end Greg Olsen, defensive tackle Kawann Short and linebacker Thomas Davis.

It's not much of a surprise that the team who finished 15-1 features the most players to make this list, but it's well-deserved across the board.
