The NFL Players Association unveiled the first All-Pro team that is chosen exclusively by their colleagues on the field.
Previously, people from the media voted for the all-star team, but the NFL finally recognized the importance of the opinion of those who are also on the field of play.
Only active players who had not missed more than five games before Week 15 of the regular season could vote.
You know we always got to bring some of that razzle dazzle 🤩
