Definition of Players' All-Pro Team

What does the term "players' all-pro team" mean in the world of football? What is meant by the "players' all-pro team"?

After the completion of the 2022 regular season, the first-ever "players' all-pro team" was announced.

This team, which included a total of 29 players across 23 positions, was voted on by active NFL players.

Players could not vote for themselves or any of their teammates, and they could only vote for players:

1) At their position
2) That they line up against

So, as an example, a wide receiver could only vote for other wide receivers or positions that they line up against, such as cornerback.

Players that missed 5 or more games were ineligible to make the "team".

Special teams players were nominated by "locker room leaders".
