Porter got 26.8% of votes within the AFC North.... Steelers WR Hines Ward was the top vote-getter among skill position players (3.7%).... The only QB to draw a vote was Patriot Tom Brady.... Titans DT Albert Haynesworth, serving a five-game ban for stomping on the face of Dallas C Andre Gurode, didn't get a vote; the poll was conducted in the preseason.
