Saquon Barkley and Patrick Surtain II: Dominating in Their Positions

Saquon Barkley emerged as one of the most impactful players this season, earning 48 of 50 first-place votes for running back. His exceptional season with the Philadelphia Eagles, which saw him run for 2,005 yards, earned him his All-Pro spot. His standout performances included crucial plays that kept the Eagles (14-3) at the top of the NFC standings. Barkley decided to rest in the final game of the regular season, knowing the Eagles had already secured the No. 2 seed in the playoffs.

On the defensive side, Patrick Surtain II earned 49 first-place votes, continuing his ascent as one of the top cornerbacks in the league. His ability to shut down top receivers was pivotal for the Denver Broncos, who are primed for a postseason push.

Strong Defensive Playmakers

The defensive selections of the 2024 NFL All-Pro Team feature several standouts, with Myles Garrett and Trey Hendrickson leading the charge as edge rushers. Garrett, a dominant force for the Cleveland Browns, and Hendrickson, who topped the league with 17.5 sacks, were chosen for their incredible ability to disrupt opposing offenses. Hendrickson expressed his excitement, calling his All-Pro selection “such a privilege and an honor.”

In the interior, Cameron Heyward of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Chris Jones of the Kansas City Chiefs are both recognized for their elite play in the trenches. Their ability to control the line of scrimmage helped anchor their respective defenses.

First-Time All-Pro Selections

This year’s All-Pro Team also boasts several first-time selections. Among the newcomers is Las Vegas Raiders rookie tight end Brock Bowers, who earned 27 first-place votes. Other first-time honorees include Kansas City’s Creed Humphrey and Joe Thuney, Denver’s Quinn Meinerz, and several standout defensive players like Houston’s Derek Stingley Jr., and Green Bay’s Xavier McKinney.

Special Teams Standouts

Special teams players also earned their place on the All-Pro roster, with notable picks like Pittsburgh’s Chris Boswell as placekicker and Detroit’s Jack Fox as punter. Dallas’ KaVontae Turpin earned the honor of kick returner, and Denver’s Marvin Mims Jr. secured his spot as the top punt returner. The special teams units play a crucial role in determining the outcome of games, and these players have certainly made their mark in 2024.
