The Indoor Football League has announced its selections for 2021 All-IFL First and Second Teams.
Much like their place at the top of the IFL league standings, the Arizona Rattlers and Massachusetts Pirates led the way with a league-high nine (9) players earning All-IFL honors. Both teams saw a league-high four (4) players selected for First Team All-IFL and five (5) players selected for Second Team All-IFL.
Coming in with the second highest number of selections were the Duke City Gladiators, fresh from their move from Champions Indoor Football, and the expansion Frisco Fighters, with four (4) players selected from each squad, with two on First and Second Team roster, respectively.
Green Bay, Sioux Falls, and Spokane all earned recognition with two (2) representatives apiece, with the Storm's Nate Chavious earning First Team honors at both Running Back and Kick Returner. Bismarck, Iowa, and Tucson each had one (1) representative. Of the three teams with one selection, Barnstormers the lone First Team member while Bismarck and Tucson earned Second Team awards.
No members of the expansion Northern Arizona Wranglers were selected for All-IFL honors this season.
