Summary

  • PFF’s 2026 midseason All-Pro teams put Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow on the first team after a 92.5 passing grade through nine weeks, 8.0 points clear of the next-best quarterback.
  • Penei Sewell headlined the offensive line with a 92.0 overall grade—the best among all linemen—while Steelers center Zach Frazier topped his position and was the only center above 75.0 in both pass and run blocking.
  • Defense was led by Lions edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson, whose 21.7% pass-rush win rate paced his position, and Jaguars linebacker Ventrell Miller, whose 92.6 overall grade led all linebackers.
  • Other first-team standouts included Seahawks receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Raiders tight end Brock Bowers and Browns cornerback Denzel Ward, as PFF used newer Premium Stats Pro metrics to shape several position calls.
