All NFL

With the MLB All-Star game fast approaching I wanted to take a look at the NFL "All-Stars".  I remember a time when all MLB teams had to have at least one representative in the All-Star game, so I'm taking that approach to the 32 franchises that make up the NFL.  If possible I'll list an offensive and defensive guy for each team.

Here's what the pure NFL All-Star team would be from the AFC and NFC first though... (Minimum of 50% of their teams snaps based purely on the 2012 season).  I took the best of the offensive line, regardless of position.  The AFC has better tackles and guards than centers.  The two people who were close to being on the list for the AFC at center were Ryan Wendell (NE) and Nick Mangold (NYJ).

There you have it.  I ordered the teams in their division based on 2012 final standings.  Soon I'll post my division by division predictions for 2013 including more than a few surprises.  I'm almost done with my post draft grading for all 32 teams drafts from this year and will post that shortly as well.

I leave you with Yoda!
