Co-MVP Peyton Manning kept the quarterback spot on the Associated Press All-Pro Team all to himself, easily beating out the league's other Most Valuable Player, Steve McNair, to make the squad for the first time.

Joining the Colts' star were Baltimore's postseason award winners, linebacker Ray Lewis and running back Jamal Lewis.

Ray Lewis, the AP Defensive Player of the Year, was the top vote-getter with 49 from a panel of 50 sports writers and broadcasters. Jamal Lewis, the AP Offensive Player of the Year, received 46.

Kansas City had five representatives: running back Priest Holmes, tight end Tony Gonzalez, guard Will Shields, tackle William Roaf and kick returner Dante Hall.

The Ravens, who lost to Tennessee in the playoffs Saturday, had four: tackle Jonathan Ogden and cornerback Chris McAlister joined the Lewises.

"Ray is the best player in the league," McAlister said. "It's great to have all of us on the team with him."

Jamal Lewis had the second-best rushing total in NFL history: 2,066 yards. He also set a single-game rushing mark with 295 yards against Cleveland.

Manning received 28 1/2 votes to 16 1/2 for McNair. They tied with 16 votes each in the NFL MVP voting announced last week. Manning was named second team in 1999.

"It would be tough to find a player who has played better," Colts center Jeff Saturday said. "He's stepped up and made big plays for us every week."

Colts kicker Mike Vanderjagt joined his teammate. Vanderjagt had a perfect regular season (37-for-37 on field goals) and set the NFL record with 41 consecutive FGs, dating to last season.

The Chiefs' Holmes made the first team for the third straight year, while Shields was chosen for the second time. Roaf made it twice while with New Orleans. For Gonzalez, it was a fourth All-Pro selection; teammate Hall is a newcomer.

Holmes broke two NFL records. He scored 27 touchdowns, all rushing, bettering the overall TD mark of 26 by Marshall Faulk and the 25 TDs rushing by Emmitt Smith. Holmes had his big year coming off hip surgery.

"I love stories like that," Gonzalez said. "It's so inspirational."

Also making it for the fourth time were Giants defensive end Michael Strahan, who led the league in sacks, and Dolphins inside linebacker Zach Thomas.

New England and St. Louis each had three players chosen. Ten teams had one All-Pro: Carolina, Dallas, Denver, Miami, Minnesota, the New York Giants, Oakland, San Francisco, Seattle and Tennessee.

In all, the AFC had 18 players and the NFC had nine. Fifteen teams were represented.

One of the teams that was shut out: the Philadelphia Eagles, who went 12-4 and earned the top seeding for the NFC playoffs.

No Bengals players were named to the team.

The other first-time All-Pros: Dallas safety Roy Williams; both outside linebackers, Tennessee's Keith Bulluck and San Francisco's Julian Peterson; New England defensive tackle Richard Seymour; St. Louis defensive end Leonard Little and wide receiver Torry Holt, and Seattle guard Steve Hutchinson.
