The 2024 Associated Press All-Pro Team was announced on Friday, and the Alabama Crimson Tide was well represented by its former players.

All-Pro selection is different from the Pro Bowl as the voting is for the best player at each position. The distinction is for life for first-team selections.

Although there were two unanimous selections (Ja’Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson), Denver Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II just missed with 49 votes out of the 50 voters, while Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley was next closest with 48.

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry received the two first-place votes that didn’t go to Barkley. Consequently, he was a second-team selection (the 2015 Heisman Trophyw inner was a 2020 All-Pro when he topped 2,000 rushing yards).

Three of the five first-team defensive backs were from Alabama.

“That’s a huge honor,” Surtain told the AP. “That’s one of the accolades I definitely had goals for.”

It's the second time Surtain has been named All-Pro (2022). Meanwhile, Marlon Humphrey of the Baltimore Ravens was the choice at slot cornerback, his second time landing the honor (2019), and Packers safety Xavier McKinney was one of two players named at safety.
