Predicting the 2020 NFL All-Pro Team
2020 NFL First-Team All-Pro Defense
Edge Rushers
Nick Bosa, San Francisco 49ers
Khalil Mack, Chicago Bears
Bosa had an incredible rookie season, notching nine sacks and earning his first Pro Bowl appearance. Now, with a full season under his belt, expect Bosa to establish himself as the best pass-rusher in the NFL.
For Mack, his down year in 2019 consisted of 8.5 sacks, five forced fumbles and a Pro Bowl appearance. Never fear, he’ll be back in 2020, and reclaim his top-tier status as a result.
2019 Honorees: Chandler Jones, Arizona Cardinas; T.J. Watt, Pittsburgh Steelers
Interior Linemen
Aaron Donald, Los Angeles Rams
Chris Jones, Kansas City Chiefs
In six seasons, Donald has six Pro Bowl appearances, five consecutive First-Team All-Pro selections, and three Defensive Player of the Year awards on his Hall of Fame resume. He has a chance to go down as the best defensive tackle in NFL history.
As for Jones, he signed a four-year, $85 million deal on Tuesday with the Chiefs. It’s for good reason, as Kansas City wouldn’t have won the title in February without his dominance down the stretch, particularly in the Super Bowl.
2019 Honorees: Aaron Donald, Los Angeles Rams; Cam Heyward, Pittsburgh Steelers
Linebackers
Bobby Wagner, Seattle Seahawks
Darius Leonard, Indianapolis Colts
Lavonte David, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
There are a handful of extremely talented, young linebackers in the NFL. Still, this was an easy decision. Wagner is the best linebacker in football with five First-Team All-Pro honors to his name.
Meanwhile, both Leonard and David are rising stars who might be nearing their peaks in 2020.
2019 Honorees: Bobby Wagner, Seattle Seahawks; Demario Davis, New Orleans Saints; Eric Kendricks, Minnesota Vikings
