So, why do you believe that Pro Football Weekly's All-American team is more reliable than the other All American selections?

I never said it was more reliable.  My point was that the PFW AA Team considers perceived NFL draft value (at this stage of the evaluation process) over pure college production, and that kind of thinking might explain why Fleener and Ertz didn't win the Mackey award, despite being the two most productive TEs in college football the last two seasons.  There very well could be Mackey voters being swayed by NFL scout opinions.

The topic seemed relevant because people reading this board, self included, have felt the Mackey has slighted Fleener and Ertz, and I thought this PFW AA Team might shed some light into why.
