1. All-Pro

   All-Pro is an honor bestowed upon professional American football players that designates the best player at each position during a given season. All-Pro players are typically selected by press organizations, who select an "All-Pro team," a list that consists of at least 22 players, one for each offensive and defensive position, plus various special teams players depending on the press organization that compiles the list. All-Pro lists are exclusively limited to the major leagues, usually only the National Football League; in the past, other leagues recognized as major, such as the American Football League of the 1960s or the All-America Football Conference of the 1940s, have been included in All-Pro lists. Beginning in the early 1920s, All-Pro teams have traditionally been assembled from press polls of individually voting sportswriters. After polling the writers, the votes are tallied to determine the selected players and the results have historically been published through various news syndicates. Today, the teams are mostly published online or announced on various televised sports programs. Some organizations publish two All-Pro lists, a "First Team" and a "Second Team," with the first consisting of more prominent players than the second. The Associated Press (AP) and its All-Pro selections are the most widely recognized today. Other polls include the United Press International All-Pro poll, which began in the 1940s and continued in various forms until 1997, the Newspaper Enterprise Association All-Pro team, which ran from 1955 until 1992, and the Pro Football Writers Association All-Pro teams, which were inaugurated in 1966 and continue to be released annually. The NFL itself compiled official All-Pro lists beginning in 1931 but abandoned the practice in 1942. The All-Pro designation, while not officially sanctioned by the NFL, is generally considered a more prestigious honor than selections to the Pro Bowl, the NFL's annual all-star game. A minimum of twice as many Pro Bowlers are selected as first and second team All-Pro slots combined. In 2010 the date of the Pro Bowl Game was permanently moved to the week before Super Bowl, ensuring the Super Bowl would always be the last game of the season. Since they would be preparing for the championship, every Pro Bowl selection bound for the Super Bowl are replaced by alternates. Pro Bowl selections who decline to play due to injury or lack of interest, are replaced by alternates. Both the original selection and alternate will be credited as being a member of that year’s Pro Bowl squad. The All-Pro list does not have alternates.

The Associated Press and its NFL All-Pro Team is the most widely cited today, likely because it has been consecutively chosen since the 1940s and is frequently cited in official NFL news articles. Lesser-known polls include the United Press International All-Pro poll, which began in the 1940s and continued in various forms until 1997, the Newspaper Enterprise Association All-Pro team, which ran from 1954 until 1996, and the Pro Football Writers Association All-Pro teams, which were inaugurated in 1966 and continue to be released annually.
