I would say 8-10 of them will be playing on Sundays.

Offensive MVP - Matt Nichols. Was anyone really surprised by that one?

[Mvemjsunpx]

Two nitpicks:


Why 18 players on the first team? There are more running backs than receivers there. And 2 first team fullbacks?

How the hell was Nate Overbay not a unanimous selection? He had easily the best receiving stats of any TE (despite weighing 270 lbs.) and he's a projected 4th. rounder.

Was wondering the same thing.............still scratching my head on that one.
