Annual All-Pro Teams have always been named by those that watch the game. For the first time, the NFLPA released an All-Pro team crafted by the players. Those that play the game finally have a say. The voting is novel as the players voted on the players that they play against. Centers voted for interior defensive linemen and off-the ball linebackers. Receivers voted on defensive backs. I’d imagine quarterbacks voted on the entire defense. Players who missed more than five games through Week 15 were ineligible.
The first player’s All-Pro team appears to be a very selective team:
-only 18 of the league’s 32 teams are represented
-only nine of the 14 playoff teams are represented
-no Bengals, Bills, Dolphins, Buccaneers, or Jaguars
-with four each, the Chiefs and 49ers have the most players on the team
