## Key

- AP = Associated Press first-team All-Pro
- AP-2 = Associated Press second-team All-Pro
- AP-2t = Tied for second-team All-Pro in the AP vote
- PFWA = Pro Football Writers Association All-NFL
- SN = _Sporting News_ All-Pro

## Position differences

PFWA and SN did not separate the tackles and guards into more specific positions as the AP did.
