The NFL Players Association All-Pro Team has been around for two seasons, and Denver Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II has been on it both years.

The NFLPA released its all-star selections for the 2023 NFL season on Wednesday, and the former Alabama All-American filled one of the cornerback slots as he did for 2022.

This wasn’t unusual: 14 of the players on the NFLPA All-Pro Team for 2023 were on the team for 2022.

One of the new selections was Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill, a former West Alabama standout. Hill was chosen after he led the NFL with 1,799 receiving yards and tied for the league lead in touchdown receptions with 13 on 119 catches in 2023.

The NFLPA’s all-star team is selected by the league’s players.

The NFLPA did not allow players to vote for themselves or their teammates and excluded players who had missed five or more games through Week 15 of the season from consideration.

Players voted only for their position group and those groups that they line up against on the field. For instance, centers voted to select the best players at center, nose tackle, interior defensive line and off-ball linebacker.

The Players’ All-Pro Team selections for 2023 included:

· Quarterback: Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens

· Running back: Christian McCaffrey, San Francisco 49ers

· Fullback: Kyle Juszczyk, San Francisco 49ers

· Wide receivers: CeeDee Lamb, Dallas Cowboys; Tyreek Hill, Miami Dolphins

· Tight end: Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs

· Left tackle: Trent Williams, San Francisco 49ers

· Edge rushers: Myles Garrett, Cleveland Browns; Maxx Crosby, Las Vegas Raiders

· Nose tackle: Dexter Lawrence, New York Giants

· Interior defensive linemen: Chris Jones, Kansas City Chiefs; Aaron Donald, Los Angeles Rams

· Cornerbacks: DaRon Bland, Dallas Cowboys; Patrick Surtain II, Broncos

· Free safety: Jessie Bates III, Atlanta Falcons
