The 1982 All-Pro Team is composed of the National Football League players that were named to the Associated Press , Newspaper Enterprise Association , Pro Football Writers Association , and Pro Football Weekly in 1982. Both first- and second- teams are listed for the AP and NEA teams. These are the four teams that are included in Total Football II: The Official Encyclopedia of the National Football League . The Sporting News did not choose a 1982 All-Pro team due to the player’s strike.
