2025 NFL All-Pro team picks: Best players at every position - ESPN

With one week to go in the 2025 NFL season, I'm ready to name my first- and second-team All-Pros. There are a few races that are particularly tight, and my pick at running back changed after what I saw in Week 17, but nobody's going to fly up the charts from out of nowhere to be a first-team All-Pro in Week 18. All these players already established themselves as elite performers long before the final week of the season.

This is my own All-Pro team based on the tape I've watched and the numbers I've crunched this season, as opposed to a prediction of who will actually be on those teams when they're announced later in January. Different organizations name the teams in their own ways, so I'm just going to lean into my own format. I'm naming 11 players on each side of the ball, with three wideouts and three cornerbacks. I'm picking two offensive tackles and two guards without regard for which side of the line they play. And I'm willing to choose two safeties who play primarily in the box, in part because I've seen one of those safeties excel as something close to a true free safety role in years past and feel very confident he could play at a high level there if needed. I also have three special teams players.

One big difference for this team versus the Pro Bowl teams that were just announced is that I really care about player availability. As good as he is, there's no universe where I'm ever considering Joe Alt for this team, given that he played just four full games and a handful of snaps in two others this season. This is a roster designed to represent the most productive and impactful players of 2025 as opposed to the best guys on any individual snap.
