1985 All-Pro Team

Official list of the best NFL players in 1985

Newspaper Enterprise Association Pro Football Writers of America The Sporting News The 1985 All-Pro Team is composed of the National Football League players that were named to the Associated Press, Newspaper Enterprise Association, Pro Football Writers Association, and The Sporting News in 1985. Both first- and second- teams are listed for the AP and NEA teams. These are the four teams that are included in Total Football II: The Official Encyclopedia of the National Football League.
