Matthew Stafford has achieved another huge milestone in his NFL career. It has been confirmed that the Los Angeles Rams star was named First-Team All-Pro. The AP confirmed that the veteran received more votes than Drake Maye of the New England Patriots.

This accolade could give him a very important boost to win the MVP award. That race also appears to be only between two players: Stafford and Maye. Nevertheless, being a First-Team All-Pro is a very significant edge for potential voters.

At the moment, Matthew Stafford and the Rams are trying to win a second Super Bowl in the playoffs. The quarterback had a great 2025 season with 4,707 yards, 46 touchdowns, and only 8 interceptions.
