Working alongside SB Nation’s own Bucs Nation and the hosts of the Locked on Falcons and Locked on Panthers podcasts we are creating first and second All-NFC South teams based on the conventional All-Pro structure.
Below are those nominated at each position. Go vote, and do so honestly! Not just based off of team affiliation. Once voting has concluded, we will post the teams for your here at CSC and you can hear an in-depth conversation on any of the team’s Locked on podcasts July 10th to cap-off a week’s worth of divisional crossover conversations. Keep in mind, this is a preseason poll so there is some projection and a level of prediction in this as well.
(Because of traditional All-Pro structure, C.J. Gardner-Johnson, for instance is not on the list. In the All-Pro style team formations only two cornerbacks are allowed for both the first and second teams. Meaning we needed eight candidates, or two per team.)
