The NFL’s 2022 All-Pro teams — both first and second — on offense, defense and special teams were released on Friday, and many of the names are exactly who you’d expect.
Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts were the two QBs on the first and second team, respectively. Mahomes’ Chiefs teammate Travis Kelce was the top tight end. The league’s leading rusher, Las Vegas Raider Josh Jacobs, was the No. 1 running back and deservedly so.
But as you’d expect there was plenty of debate about who got snubbed. So we’ve collected some takes from around social media after the lists dropped.
Let’s run through them:
1
RB Christian McCaffrey, San Francisco 49ers
Nick Chubb was All-Pro on the second team, but McCaffrey had the third-most yards from scrimmage in 2022. Hmm.
2
DE Myles Garrett, Cleveland Browns
Look, Nick Bosa led the league in sacks and Micah Parsons was one of the NFL’s best all-around defenders.
So Garrett got relegated to the second team. Still a good thing, but we’ll count it as a snub.
3
DE Maxx Crosby, Las Vegas Raiders
I’m throwing him in because his teammate Davante Adams made a case for him, and he really could have been on the second team (although Haason Reddick deserved a spot!).
Congrats to my teammates and other boys around the league on their all-pro nods! Maxx was brutally snubbed and somebody needs to be held accountable. As for me…that’s 3 1st team blessings in a row. God is great 🙌🏾

Crosby didn’t sound pleased, either:
Wow.

LT Laremy Tunsil, Houston Texans
A few amount of players were robbed out of All Pro nods imo.
Slay, Henry, Tunsil come to mind.
Tunsil really not making either all pro team when he was voted a STARTER in the pro bowl by his PEERS AND COACHES, the people who gameplan against him, is wild.

One of biggest snubs on annual All-Pro team was #Texans Pro Bowl starting left tackle Laremy Tunsil @KingTunsil78 he had an excellent season allowed just one sack as highest graded pass blocker. Third-most votes (13) behind Trent Williams (first-team) Andrew Thomas (second-team) https://t.co/x9syqSFRme

LB Dre Greenlaw, San Francisco 49ers
I’m surprised to not see his name, and others agreed.
Greenlaw and McCaffrey snubbed. But shoutout to Trent Williams, Nick Bosa, Fred Warner, Talanoa Hufanga, George Kittle and George Odum for being named All Pros! https://t.co/J5SQHxjFPV

Dre Greenlaw snubbed from the All Pro. The noise he’s about to make in these playoffs are going to show the doubters that he’s the best linebacker in the league. pic.twitter.com/wj1atMQAG6
