Wow! Congrats to the butler.

Way to go, Alfred! What an honor.:point2sky

No love for Fletcher for making it as well?

I think this was closed by accident.

Congratulations to Morris, he certainly deserved it. He ran with purpose all year long and did incredible.

It's tough to imagine how different this year would have gone without him. THT and Helu were injured, and Royster seemed to have a tough 2nd year. Without Morris we probably win nowhere near as many games, and our offense, instead of being top 5, would have been middle of the pack at best.

And is that the Highlander I spy on the 2nd team? Congratulations to Fletcher! He came alive in the 2nd half of the season so it's good to see him get some recognition.

Trent Williams should be there smh.

Who the heck is Duane Brown and how is he on there over Trent Williams? Also Suh 2nd team, whatever, I'd take Cofield over him

Congrats to both Alf and Fletch.

I hope Fletch sticks with it and is still kicking ass next season.

Duane Brown is an incredibly good LT for the Houston Texans, he is very deserving. PFF had him graded as the best LT in football this season.

Hopefully Clady's position as first team all pro will put to sleep some of the calls here for him to be signed as our RT.

All that being said congrats to Morris and Fletcher! Good to see Morris getting the more prestigious recognition after being snubbed from the Pro Bowl.

Williams was dominant early in the season but played more average, understandably, with his injury. He'll make it next year barring no setbacks imo.

Besides Suh & Ware, it is a very deserving list.

I would like to see Suh replaced with Henry Melton from Chicago but I won't pretend I watched every snap of either of them. Still the few games I saw of Suh I was unimpressed.

nice to see the players getting individual accolades (all part of being on a winning team). Hopefully, more will get recognized next year.

Awesome job by Alfred getting onto the 2nd team as a rookie. Great accomplishment.

And awesome for Fletcher to get some additional notoriety as he moves towards the end of his career. All-Pro teams will just help add to the hall of fame argument.

Hopefully, would go in as a Redskin.

So:

1st team O/2nd team D

vs.

2nd team O/1st team D

who ya got?

I'm taking Aaron Rodgers, Alfred Morris and Co.

Look@Champ Bailey..still getting it done.

Congrats to Fletch & the Butler! Hail!

Not sure who I'd take, but let me tell you, that setup would be 10x more interesting than the pro bowl.

Wow, what an honor. Alfred just makes the picks we traded this year seem less and less relevant. To have found an All-Pro RB in the 6th round. That's amazing.

Congrats to our own Iron Man too! Hoping he stays around for another season, just long enough to bring home another ring

Can the OP be changed to show that Fletcher made it as well? I've long thought that making all-Pro is far more impressive than making the Pro Bowl, so I'm glad to see two of our guys get it.

Yeah, I want to see Fletcher in the Hall.

Hopefully, would go in as a Redskin.

I think Fletcher deserves it, but I'm pretty sure the football hall of fame isn't the baseball hall of fame. Players don't go in the football hall of fame "as any team."

Congrats to 46 & 59!!! HAIL!

Trent Williams should be there smh.

I know a lot of Redskins faithful believe Trent Williams deserved ALL Pro or elected to the Pro Bowl. But his thigh injury held him back. IF he was healthy all year, he probably would have gotten more recognition. But he did not play as well after the injury, particularly on his run blocking. And he had a rough time with some speed rushers on the edge. I'm not complaining...I thought he did a great job, especially considering he played every Sunday through a painful injury and never complained. He has a long and bright future ahead of him.

But he was not one of the top 5 or 6 left tackles this season. Close but not quite.

Alfred Morris clearly deserved it. But Fletch? Sorry....I love me some London Fletcher. But he played quite poorly at times this season missing tackles and badly covering tight ends. The hamstring pull and the ankle sprain had something to do with it; but so did age. This was one of London's worse seasons. Did not deserve All Pro this year. Maybe a makeup for all those years in the past when he was snubbed, perhaps. Happy for him....but this year's London Fletcher was not even close to the London Fletcher of the past 3-4 years.

Congrats to Alfred and London.. they lead a team to its best finish in 13 years!
