Which Dolphins player was named an All-Pro in 2012 after accumulating 15 sacks?

The story behind the answer

Cameron Wake was the Miami Dolphins player named an All-Pro in 2012 after recording 15 sacks. Playing defensive end, Wake produced one of the best seasons of his career, starting all 16 games and finishing with 15.0 sacks, 53 tackles, and three forced fumbles.

The Associated Press selected Wake as a first-team All-Pro for the 2012 NFL season, and he also received first-team recognition from several other football organizations. His pass-rushing performance helped Miami remain competitive during a season in which the Dolphins finished 7–9. Wake also earned a Pro Bowl selection for that season.

Wake’s route to NFL stardom was unusual. He went undrafted in 2005, played in the Canadian Football League, and joined Miami in 2009 after impressing during a tryout. He became one of the franchise’s most productive pass rushers. The 15-sack figure can be confused with other defensive stars’ totals, but Wake is the Dolphins player described here.
