Some love for a bunch of our guys in here: https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-2021-all-pro-team-tom-brady-jonathan-taylor-aaron-donald
OFFENSE
QB TOM BRADY, TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS
Second Team: Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals
Brady is 44 years old, so of course the Tampa Bay Buccaneers leaned on him more than ever before. He led the NFL in dropbacks with 751 passing plays, climbing to almost 800 if you add in nullified plays. He posted a top-10 big-time throw rate and the second-best turnover-worthy throw rate in the league over the course of the season despite passing the ball more than anybody and seeing all of his top receivers miss time. Brady is playing as well as he ever has, continuing to defy Father Time in his unicorn career.
Burrow just needed a few more weeks of the season at his current level of play to pull away. Cincinnati sitting him down for Week 18 allowed Brady to jump back to the top of the PFF grades.
RB JONATHAN TAYLOR, INDIANAPOLIS COLTS
Second Team: Joe Mixon, Cincinnati Bengals
WR COOPER KUPP, LOS ANGELES RAMS
Second Team: Ja’Marr Chase, Cincinnati Bengals
Kupp threatened a handful of single-season receiving records this year, finishing with 145 catches, 1,947 yards and 16 touchdowns from 188 targets. Matthew Stafford’s impact on the Rams' offense has had no greater effect than pouring gas on the kind of production Kupp was already capable of. He is the only receiver in the NFL to average over three yards per route run (3.12), a threshold typically reserved for Julio Jones in his prime. Kupp also produced one of the best catch rates in the league, bringing in 93.5% of catchable passes.
Chase at his best was unstoppable as a rookie. His high-end games were incredible, and the only thing keeping him from being a first-team All-Pro was a run of seven games where he had middling production outside of the Bengals contest against the 49ers.
