[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 858113, member: 12283"] The AP NFL All Pro selections came out. I don't have too many issues with the choices, but Za'Darius Smith definitely got snubbed. The 1st Team at EDGE are Chandler Jones and T.J. Watt. The 2nd Team are Shaq Barrett and Cam Jordan. The selections make it pretty clear what drove the choices-- sack totals. With 13.5 sacks this season, Za'Darius was 6th overall, and four of the guys in front of him are the four mentioned above. The other is Danielle Hunter. However, that's a reductionist outlook on the position. Smith was tied for 1st in the NFL with 37 QB hits, per PFF. Smith created the most disruptions as a pass rusher, with 84, of anyone in the league per Next Gen Stats. They also credited him with the 2nd most turnover causing pressures. By espn stat's measure, his 61 pressures were the most in the NFL. His 17 tackles for loss (outside of sacks) were 3rd among all edge rushers, with Shaq Barrett (19) being the only All Pro selection with more. Furthermore, he did it against everyone. He beat left tackles, right tackles, guards, centers, and auxiliary blockers all season-- often facing double teams. By rights, he's a 1st Team All Pro. The other selections are great, but their seasons did not measure up to Za'Darius'. [/QUOTE]
