1986 All-Pro Team

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The 1986 All-Pro Team is composed of the National Football League players that were named to the

Pro Football Writers Association, Pro Football Weekly, and The Sporting News
in 1986. Both first and second teams are listed for the AP and NEA teams. These are the five teams that are included in Total Football II: The Official Encyclopedia of the National Football League. In 1986 the AP chose two defensive tackles (one a nose-tackle) rather than two defensive tackles and one nose tackles as they had done since 1981. The Pro Football Writers Association returned to a 4-3 format for their 1986 defense.
