The Associated Press has bestowed the honor of All-American on top college football players for 100 years. As part of the organization’s centennial celebration, it has named its All-Time All-America Team, consisting of 25 of the greatest players in college football history.

The requirements start with the obvious: The player must have been named to at least one All-America First Team during his amateur career. What he accomplished as a professional was not taken into consideration, and a player could be listed only at the position where he was named a First-Team All-American.
