2014 All-Pro Team

The 2014 All-Pro Teams were named by the Associated Press (AP), the Pro Football Writers of America (PFWA), the Sporting News (SN), and Pro Football Focus (PFF) for performance in the 2014 NFL season. While none of the All-Pro teams have the official imprimatur of the NFL (whose official recognition is nomination to the 2015 Pro Bowl^{[lower-alpha 1]}), they are included in the NFL Record and Fact Book and also part of the language of the 2011 NFLPA Collective Bargaining Agreement.^[1] Any player selected to the first-team of any of the teams can be described as an "All-Pro." The AP team, with first-team and second-team selections, was chosen by a national panel of fifty NFL writers and broadcasters.^[2] The Sporting News All-NFL team is voted on by NFL players and executives and was released January 20, 2015.^[3] The PFWA team is selected by its more than 300 national members who are accredited media members covering the NFL.^[4]
