Was Gardner Minshew the best player from a Pac-12 school in the NFL in 2019? No. Was he the best out of Washington State? Yes.

We're not running these stories just as an excuse to give another award to Patrick Mahomes -- but he got one anyway.

As you'd expect, most of the best NFL players from Big Ten schools do the dirty work in the trenches -- but you'll also find some electric wide receivers and a trio of Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks.

The Atlantic Coast Conference is a hotbed of quarterback talent, having blessed the NFL with such names as Matt Ryan, Deshaun Watson, Daniel Jones, Jameis Winston, and more.

NFL stars from the Southeastern Conference include ... well, dozens of names, but Derrick Henry, Nick Chubb, and Dak Prescott are some of the biggest.

It's the 49ers' world, and the Seahawks, Cardinals, and Rams are just playing in it.

The New Orleans Saints lead the NFL with 15 All-Division selections, including record-setting wide receiver Michael Thomas.

The Lions and Bears make some appearances, but as you'd expect, it's the Packers and Vikings leading the selections here.

The Dallas Cowboys join the Saints, Patriots, and Titans as teams with at least a dozen All-Division selections. The Giants were the only team to get shut out of the selection process. Neither team made the playoffs.

Von Miller and the Broncos (and the Raiders, and the Chargers) were left chasing Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.
