1979 All-Pro Ballot is Up!

By tribewriter

Please vote for the 1979 USFL/WFL All-Pro Team. Last season, 31 of 32 coaches filled out their ballots. We would like to maintain that level of participation.

Don't forget to write in five award winners in the comment box at the bottom of the survey — Offensive MVP, Defensive MVP, Coach of the Year, Offensive Rookie of the Year, Defensive Rookie of the Year. Some award nominations will follow in the next post of this thread.

I will pick the punter and kicker (since SurveyMonkey only allows 10 questions in its free version).

Thanks in advance for voting. We want to recognize the best players and coaches.
