No Washington players make the NFL All-Pro team
Washington guard Brandon Scherff did something in 2020 that hadn’t been done during owner Dan Snyder’s entire tenure. In fact, Washington hadn’t had a first-team All-Pro since before Snyder purchased the team in 1999. Punter Matt Turk was Washington’s last first-team All-Pro —in 1996.
Unfortunately for Washington, a new streak begins in 2021. No Washington made the All-Pro team in 2021. Washington’s two Pro Bowlers — defensive tackle Jonathan Allen and Scherff — did receive votes.
Allen, who was recently named to his first Pro Bowl, received two votes, while Scherff received one vote. It is Scherff’s fifth Pro Bowl appearance.
The first-team defensive tackles named to the All-Pro team were Aaron Donald of the Rams and Cameron Heyward of the Steelers. Kansas City’s Chris Jones and Tennessee’s Jeffery Simmons made the second team.
You could make the argument for Allen to be one of those four players.
Joel Bitonio of the Browns and Zack Martin of the Cowboys made the first team, while Cleveland’s Wyatt Teller and Indianapolis’ Quenton Nelson made the second team.
Scherff missed six games, so it’s a surprise he even received a vote. However, his impact was clearly felt as Washington lost all six games without him.
