The Green Bay Packers are a professional American football team based in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Packers have competed in the National Football League (NFL) since 1921, two years after their original founding by Curly Lambeau and George Whitney Calhoun.[1] They are members of the North Division of the National Football Conference (NFC) and play their home games at Lambeau Field in central Wisconsin.[2][3]
Various news agencies selected All-Pro teams dating back to the first season of the NFL in 1921 (then known as the American Professional Football Association).[4] These teams identified the best players at each position as determined by each group.[5] Starting in 1931, the NFL compiled its own All-Pro team, although this ended in 1942.[6] Notable All-Pro teams were compiled each season by the Associated Press (AP), the United Press International (UPI), Newspaper Enterprise Association (NEA), Sporting News, and the Pro Football Writers of America (PFWA), among other groups.[7] The NEA All-Pro team ended in 1992 and the UPI All-Pro team was discontinued in 1997.[8][9] Current All-Pro teams include AP, PFWA, and SN, as well as an All-Pro team developed by the NFL Players Association, which began in 2022.[10][11] The most widely recognized All-Pro team is AP's, which is selected by a group of AP sportswriters.[12] The All-Pro recognition is considered more prestigious than selection to a Pro Bowl, due to its exclusivity and its use of professional sportswriters for the selection process.[13] The AP All-Pro Team includes a first team and second team, identifying the pre-eminent positional selections and their respective back-ups.[14]
