On Wednesday, the NFLPA released its All-Pro First Team, which included three former Oklahoma football offensive players. According to the players, the second annual Players’ All-Pro Team is comprised of the league’s top performers. Former Sooners CeeDee Lamb of the Dallas Cowboys, Trent Williams of the San Francisco 49ers, and Lane Johnson of the Philadelphia Eagles have all received peer praise.
On offense, Lamb, Williams, and Johnson will be joined by MVP frontrunner Lamar Jackson and the 49ers’ backfield of Christian McCaffrey and Kyle Juszczyk. The 2023 NFLPA All-Pro First Team includes Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and Eagles center Jason Kelce, among others.
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb dominated the NFL this season.
Lamb concluded the regular season with a league-high 135 receptions. He finished in the top three for receiving yards (1,749) and touchdowns (12). Lamb set a new Dallas Cowboys franchise record in practically every statistical category while guiding the team to an impressive 12-5 record. Lamb concluded the season with at least six receptions in his final six games, including 26 catches for 325 yards and three touchdowns in his last two games.
Lamb played for Lincoln Riley and the Oklahoma Sooners from 2017 to 2019. He earned All-American accolades in his final season, catching 62 passes for 1,327 yards and 14 touchdowns while leading the Big 12 in receiving yards per reception and finished second in punt return yards.
Former Oklahoma football stars Trent Williams and Lane Johnson continue to play at an elite level.
San Francisco 49ers LT Trent Williams has always earned the respect of his teammates. The 11-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro led one of the strongest offensive lines in football this season, helping San Francisco finish third in points per game. Meanwhile, the same is true for Philadelphia Eagles’ Lane Johnson. The 33-year-old is still one of the top bookend tackles in the NFL.
Williams played for Bob Stoops at Oklahoma from 2008 to 2009, winning both the Big 12 and the Sun Bowl. The Washington Redskins took Williams with the fourth overall choice in the 2010 NFL draft. Johnson was also the fourth overall pick, taken by the Eagles in 2013. He also played for Bob Stoops.
