New Orleans Saints: Four players selected first-team All-Pro
With the 2020 NFL All-Pro rosters released, four New Orleans Saints had enough votes to make it on the first-team roster, two made it on the second-team roster.
The New Orleans Saints are one of the best teams in the NFL. While they are the No. 3 seed in the NFC, they are the No. 3 rank in the final NFL Power Rankings behind only the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers.
As one of the best teams in the league, the New Orleans Saints had the most players selected to the NFL All-Pro first-team. The All-Pro honor is a greater honor than the Pro-Bowl roster is because of the lack of biased, popularity voting for the Pro-Bowl.
