In case anyone missed it, throughout December we presented our picks at each position for the AFI All-Pandemic Team.
Since late July, leagues in Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Austria and Japan have played seasons, all of which have been delayed and shortened due to the pandemic. American Football International has shown every single game, almost all on AFI.tv.
We have watched every game and from all that game film we have selected a 22 man squad from all six countries.
This has not been an easy task and our six-man panel has devoted many, many hours in trying to decide the best player at each position. Our depth chart was four to six men deep at each position. The discussions and arguments for and against at each position were at times lively, long and drawn out.
You may not agree with all our picks. We understand that.
There were many players left off that could easily have been chosen. But that’s the reality of putting together an all star team of players from all over the world.
So, we are proud to present our entire, 22-man AFI All-Pandemic Team!
