There were a lot of difficult decisions to help determine the best players at 28 positions on offense, defense, and special teams," said Daryl Johnston, President of Football Operations. "There were many players who were worthy of recognition in our highly competitive second season. Every team had at least two players named All-USFL, which is proof of the remarkable parity across the league. USFL fans are the ultimate winners as they got to enjoy watching these outstanding athletes play some incredible football."
