All-Super Bowl Era Team
Posted: Sat Jan 16, 2016 4:09 pm
Here are my selections for the all-NFL team for the last 50 years, or the Super Bowl era. I patterned it after the NFL's 75th Anniversary All-Time Team in terms of numbers of players at each position (with the addition of a fullback and a special teams player). Your take?
