Two quarterbacks battling for MVP honors were included on the Associated Press' 2021 All-Pro Team. Aaron Rodgers was named a first team All-Pro for the fourth time and second straight year. Tom Brady was a second team selection. His last All-Pro honor came in 2017 during his MVP season.
The All-Pro rosters, which were voted on by a national panel of 50 media members, include five players who were unanimously selected: Rams receiver Cooper Kupp, Packers wideout Davante Adams, Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, Steelers pass- rusher T.J. Watt, and Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald. Along with Rodgers and Brady, each of these players are candidates to win league MVP, which will be unveiled the night before Super Bowl LVI.
