According to Wikipedia, "All-Pro is a term mostly used in the NFL for the best players of each position during that season. It began as polls of sportswriters in the early 1920s. There are also 2nd Team All-Pros which connotes the runner-up at each position.

The Associated Press NFL All-Pro Team is an annual selection of the best players in the National Football League (NFL) by position as selected by a national panel of media members of the Associated Press. Unlike selection to the Pro Bowl (all star game), votes are cast for outstanding players by position without consideration for whether the player competes in the American Football Conference (AFC) or National Football Conference (NFC). The Associated NFL All-Pro Team is the longest running selection awards program in existence"

The 2009 AP NFL All-Pro team is as follows:

QB: Peyton Manning
RB: Chris Johnson, Adrian Peterson
FB: Leonard Weaver
WR: Wes Welker, Andre Johnson
TE: Dallas Clark
KR: Josh Cribbs
O-Line: Steve Hutchinson, Ryan Clady, Jahri Evans, Nick Mangold, Joe Thomas
D-Line: Dwight Freeney, Jared Allen, Jay Ratliff, Elvis Dumervil, Kevin Williams
Linebackers: Ray Lewis, DeMarcus Ware, Patrick Willis
Secondary: Darrelle Revis, Charles Woodson, Darren Sharper, Adrian Wilson
Punter: Shane Lechler
Kicker: Nate Kaeding
