A total of 10 repeat selections and 10 first-time selections are part of the 2023 All-NFL team, chosen in voting conducted by the Professional Football Writers of America (PFWA).
The Dallas Cowboys placed a league-high five players on the All-NFL team, while the San Francisco 49ers had four players honored.
New York Jets cornerback Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner, Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill, Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, Cowboys guard Zack Martin, Green Bay Packers kick returner Keisean Nixon, Cowboys outside linebacker Micah Parsons, 49ers middle linebacker Fred Warner and 49ers offensive tackle Trent Williams all repeated from the PFWA’s 2022 All-NFL squad.
Garrett was named All-NFL for the fourth straight season (2020-23), the longest current streak among active players. Kelce, Martin, Parsons and Williams were all selected for the third straight season.
Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald made the All-NFL team for the eighth time overall (2015-21, 2023), which broke a tie with Pro Football Hall of Famer Randy White for the most PFWA first-team All-NFL selections by a defensive tackle (the PFWA selected a first and second All-NFL team from 1968-76). Martin made the All-NFL team for the seventh time overall (2015-18, 2021-23), while Kelce is a six-time All-NFL selection (2017-19, 2021-23) – which broke a tie with Pro Football Hall of Famers Dermontti Dawson, Kevin Mawae, Dwight Stephenson and Mike Webster for the most first-team selections by a center in PFWA All-NFL history.
Garrett (2020-23) and Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker T.J. Watt (2019-21, 2023) are four-time All-NFL selections, while Parsons (2021-23), 49ers middle linebacker Fred Warner (2020, 2022-23) and Williams (2021-23) are three-time All-NFL selections.
