1939 All-Pro Team

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1939 All-Pro Team consisted of American football players chosen by various selectors for the All-Pro team of the National Football League (NFL) for the 1939 NFL season. Teams were selected by, among others, the NFL coaches (NFL),[1] Professional Football Writers Association (PFW), the United Press (UP),[2] the International News Service (INS),[3] Collyer's Eye (CE),[4] and the New York Daily News (NYDN).[4]

Players displayed in bold were consensus first-team selections. Four players were selected for the first team by all six selectors: Chicago Bears fullback Bill Osmanski; Green Bay Packers end Don Hutson; Chicago Bears tackle Joe Stydahar; and Chicago Bears guard Dan Fortmann.
