New York Giants defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence has been named a first-team All-Pro player for 2022 by his peers. For the first time, thanks to a vote by the NFLPA, NFL players themselves have been allowed to vote on a ballot. The player ballots were cast in addition to the traditional ballots cast by sports writers.
The AP has several guidelines for how the players were allowed to fill out their ballots. To start, only active players were allowed to vote, and then weren’t allowed to vote for themselves or their teammates. Likewise, players who missed five (or more) games were ineligible to receive votes.
