NEW YORK -- Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson was voted to the 2013 Associated Press NFL All-Pro team. Teammate Karlos Dansby, who was snubbed in Pro Bowl voting, was a second-team seletion at inside linebacker in balloting from 50 media members who cover the NFL.

Denver quarterback Peyton Manning was the only unanimous choice. It's his seventh time as a first-teamer, tying Hall of Famer Otto Graham for the most by a quarterback.

The Denver star set NFL records this season with 55 touchdown passes and 5,477 yards through the air. Manning also was an All-Pro in 2003, `04, `05, `08, `09 and last season.
