The Indoor Football League has announced its selections for 2019 All-IFL First and Second Teams.
Much like their place at the top of the IFL league standings, the Arizona Rattlers led the way with a league-high nine (9) players earning All-IFL honors with six earning First Team recognition, and three earning Second Team recognition.
The Iowa Barnstormers, last season's United Bowl Champions, fell short in their quest for a repeat, but a 12-2 record and third straight conference championship/semi-final appearance resulted in six (6) players selected for All-IFL honors. For the second straight season, an Iowa QB has found himself ranked as a First Team All-IFL honor, with rookie Daquan Neal earning recognition following in the footsteps of former Barnstormers QB Drew Powell.
Nebraska and Quad City both earned recognition with four (4) representatives, while Green Bay, Sioux Falls, and Tucson saw three representatives from their clubs earn All-IFL Honors. The expansion San Diego Strike Force saw two (2) players earn All-IFL Honors, but is recognized as three selections; WR Marques Rodgers was recognized with Second Team All-IFL honors as a receiver, but also First Team All-IFL for his contribution as a kick returner.
Bismarck rounded out the All-IFL Selections with one (1) representative.
No members of the Cedar Rapids River Kings were selected for All-IFL honors this season.
