Four Former Alabama Players Named to NFL All-Pro Teams

In this story:
Year after year, Alabama — the school that's produced the most NFL players for the ninth consecutive season — is heavily represented in the Pro Bowl and All-Pro rosters.
The Associated Press announced the NFL All-Pro teams on Saturday morning, and four former Alabama standouts made the cut.
Here are the four former Alabama players named to the 2025 All-Pro Teams.
First Team:
- Houston Texans defensive end Will Anderson Jr. (first appearance on either All-Pro team)
- Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard (first appearance on either All-Pro team)
Second Team:
- Denver Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain II (First Team All-Pro in 2022 and 2024)
- Green Bay Packers safety Xavier McKinney (First Team All-Pro in 2024)
It's worth noting that while Anderson and Surtain made the Pro Bowl Games, Reichard and McKinney did not. Additionally, Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs and Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Quinnen Williams landed on the Pro Bowl rosters, but didn't make the All-Pro cut.
Stats for Alabama's Four All-Pros:
- Will Anderson Jr.: 17 games, 54 tackles, including 20 for loss, 12.0 sacks, 23 quarterback hits, three forced fumbles, three pass breakups, two fumble recoveries.
- Will Reichard: 17 games, 33 conversions on 35 field goal attempts (94.3 percent), including 11 of 13 from 50-plus yards, 31 conversions on 31 extra point attempts.
- Pat Surtain II: 14 games, 47 tackles, 12 pass breakups, one interception.
- Xavier McKinney: 16 games, 107 tackles, two interceptions, one forced fumble, one sack, 10 pass breakups.
