Wow! Congrats to the butler.

[Theismann07]

Way to go, Alfred! What an honor.

[TK]

No love for Fletcher for making it as well?

[zoony]

I think this was closed by accident.

Congratulations to Morris, he certainly deserved it. He ran with purpose all year long and did incredible.

It's tough to imagine how different this year would have gone without him. THT and Helu were injured, and Royster seemed to have a tough 2nd year. Without Morris we probably win nowhere near as many games, and our offense, instead of being top 5, would have been middle of the pack at best.

And is that the Highlander I spy on the 2nd team? Congratulations to Fletcher! He came alive in the 2nd half of the season so it's good to see him get some recognition.

Trent Williams should be there smh.

[MWCREDSKINS]

Who the heck is Duane Brown and how is he on there over Trent Williams? Also Suh 2nd team, whatever, I'd take Cofield over him

Congrats to both Alf and Fletch.

I hope Fletch sticks with it and is still kicking ass next season.

Duane Brown is an incredibly good LT for the Houston Texans, he is very deserving. PFF had him graded as the best LT in football this season.

Hopefully Clady's position as first team all pro will put to sleep some of the calls here for him to be signed as our RT.

All that being said congrats to Morris and Fletcher! Good to see Morris getting the more prestigious recognition after being snubbed from the Pro Bowl.

Williams was dominant early in the season but played more average, understandably, with his injury. He'll make it next year barring no setbacks imo.

[Bantu]

Besides Suh & Ware, it is a very deserving list.

[Laxpunk2006]

Besides Suh & Ware, it is a very deserving list.

I would like to see Suh replaced with Henry Melton from Chicago but I won't pretend I watched every snap of either of them. Still the few games I saw of Suh I was unimpressed.

[jobaga]

nice to see the players getting individual accolades (all part of being on a winning team). Hopefully, more will get recognized next year.

[ZRagone]

Awesome job by Alfred getting onto the 2nd team as a rookie. Great accomplishment.

And awesome for Fletcher to get some additional notoriety as he moves towards the end of his career. All-Pro teams will just help add to the hall of fame argument.
