All-Pro Designations
Overview
"All-Pro" is not a single award. Several independent voting bodies each name their own All-Pro teams, and their selections often differ from one another. Pro Football Reference displays All-Pro honors from multiple selectors, but applies a stricter standard for the All-Pro banner shown on individual player pages.
Who selects All-Pro teams
We currently track All-Pro designations from the following organizations:
- Associated Press (AP)
- Pro Football Writers of America (FW)
- Pro Football Focus (PFF)
- Sporting News (SN)
Where to find All-Pro selections
All All-Pro designations from every selector we track are listed together on the season-end All-Pro page. For example, the 2025 season page is at:
https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2025/allpro.htm
You can see different years by updating the year in the URL above or by going to a season page and using the sidebar menu to navigate to Awards > AllPro.
When a player page shows an All-Pro banner
An All-Pro banner appears at the top of an individual player's page only if that player was named first-team AP All-Pro.
No banner is added for:
- AP second-team All-Pro
- PFWA first-team all-league or first-team all-conference
- Pro Football Focus All-Pro
- Sporting News All-Pro
This means a player may appear as an All-Pro on the season-end All-Pro page without having a banner on their own page. If you are looking for the complete record of a player's All-Pro recognition across all selectors, use the All-Pro Teams table on player pages or the season All-Pro pages.
