Gostkowski was named a 2014 Associated Press All-Pro second-teamer, the Patriots' official site reports.

Analysis:

The first-team nod went to former New England kicker Adam Vinatieri, who made 30 of 31 field-goal attempts for the Colts. Gostkowski made 35 of 37 attempts this past season and recorded a league-high 156 points. He's slated to become a free agent this offseason, with his fantasy prospects obviously tied to whether he returns to New England, where he has turned in three straight seasons as the NFL's highest-scoring kicker.
