Final Thoughts
The Denver Broncos had the most players selected across each of the All-Pro teams, with six players represented in total, while also tying a franchise record with four All-Pro first team selections. The Seattle Seahawks finished with the second-most selections, totaling five across both teams.
The first team selection of Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford all but indicates that the star QB will win this season’s NFL MVP award. The MVP award has gone to a member of the All-Pro first team 35 times in the last 38 seasons. The last time the NFL MVP was not a first-team member occurred last season, when Buffalo Bills star QB Josh Allen won the award despite making the second team. Stafford is currently the odds-on favorite to win the coveted award, narrowly edging out New England Patriots QB Drake Maye for the coveted award.
