To celebrate AAPI Heritage month, I thought I would create an All-Pro team to show just how good a team of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders would be, considering how small of a minority they are in the NFL.

For the starters, I prioritized veteran players when available, but some Rookies, such as Dominic Puni and Laiatu Latu were given the start as I believe they would be the best player at that position despite not taking an NFL snap yet (The Cooper DeJean Rule).

There are some names left out who are just noted as an asterisk in the team breakdown, simply because they either haven’t played meaningful snaps in the past few seasons (EG Bradlee Anae), or they are just not that good in a loaded position class

No real Fullback in 2024, so I went with a "thunder and lightning" backfield depth chart.

Corners are a stretch, Bynum played CB in college, Gilman is a good Nickle. Most other guys are Safeties filling voids. Ka’imi Fairbairn has had 2 career Punts, thats good enough for me.

New England’s shift from small white guys to AAPI players was a surprise when doing this research. Dan Campbell seems to be gathering a lot of these players to create a great culture for his football team.
