Matt Ryan lidera el equipo ideal 2016 de la Asociación de la Prensa

Como cada año un panel de 50 periodistas que siguen la NFL y forman parte de la Asociación de la Prensa (AP) ha emitido sus votaciones para elegir al equipo ideal de la temporada. Este año sólo dos jugadores recibieron el total de votos: el kicker de los Baltimore Ravens Justin Tucker y el retornador de los Kansas City Chiefs Tyreek Hill. Estos han sido los jugadores más votados en cada posición.

El QB Matt Ryan, los RBs Ezekiel Elliott y David Johnson, los WR Antonio Brown y Julio Jones junto al TE Travis Kelce serían los «playmakers» del equipo ideal de la temporada, donde hasta tres jugadores de los Cowboys formarían la línea ofensiva.
