Take something like Wikipedia for example, something almost everyone uses.  If you go to Trey Hendrickson's page, which I'll link below, you'll find under "Career Highlights and Awards" no mention of being 1st team All Pro.  You only see "C-USA Conference Player of the Year (2016)"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trey_Hendrickson

Take a simple google seach result: type in "NFL All-Pro Team 2020".  You should see that the very first result is from nfl.com.  Pointing out the obvious here, but this is the official website of the NFL.  This is the very first page you will come across if you're trying to find out who made the All Pro Team.

Again, I'm not pointing this out to diminish anything Trey Hendrickson has accomplished.  If he's made other All Pro Teams, which are recgonized then that's great.  All I'm trying to say here is it should be easy for someone to understand how some may be completely unaware of it.

There's nothing wrong about what Holic just said, the AP is the most recgonized one.  The NFL confirms as much with their own website.  And there's nothing wrong with those of us who were oblivious to the fact that he made another when these are the types of results and articles that we use to learn these things.

Really no need to get so defensive about it. 

I'm not defensive about it, I just didn't think you missed the multi-page discussion about it when he was signed, maybe you did. If so, my bad. 
The Wiki thing is interesting, as the All-Pro was listed in his accomplishments when he was signed, because I looked him up and that's how I knew. Seeing as Wiki can be edited by just about anyone, I wonder who took that off and when? He's still listed on their 2020 All Pro Team listing if you look that up.

And, I'll just point out that the AP voting process is very much flawed as well. Just ask anyone who is a Lion's fan.

Bottom line is, we signed a guy who was voted 1st team All-Pro to replace a guy who never even sniffed it. That's a good thing.
