Teammate Mykel Benson earned his first All-Arena honor at the fullback spot after tying for the AFL lead with 20 rushing touchdowns.

Philadelphia Soul's Adam Smith makes his second consecutive appearance on the First Team offensive line. Smith is joined up front by first-time selections for Jacksonville's Cornelius Lewis, and a tie for First Team center between Arizona's Jordan Mudge and Cleveland's Joe Madsen.

Jacksonville Sharks' Joe Hills, who led the AFL in receptions (161), receiving yards (2,020) and receiving touchdowns (58), earned his third All-Arena selection of his career and second time on the First Team (2013, Tampa Bay).
