Every NFL players strives to be the best in the league at their position and cement themselves as one of the sporting elite. Those who manage to reach this lofty status in a single season are recognised by the associated press and selected for the one of the two All-Pro teams. These fictional rosters identify the top 2 (or occasionally 3) players at each position on the field in the eyes of the media, but in my opinion, they don't always get it right. That's why I have decided to create my own teams, both first and second, and show my appreciation for the outstanding players of the 2018 NFL season.
