The AFC-South is known for their talented players that are spread across each of the teams. So the NFL's official website decided to make their own All-Divisional Team for the AFC South. Players like Andrew Luck, J.J. Watt, Julius Thomas, and T.Y. Hilton made the list that should have made the list, but in all honesty, there really were no surprises.
Offense:
Quarterback: Andrew Luck (Indianapolis Colts)
Running Back: Arian Foster (Houston Texans)
Wide Receiver: T.Y. Hilton (Indianapolis Colts)
Wide Receiver: Andre Johnson (Indianapolis Colts)

The Indianapolis Colts featured 11 players, the Houston Texans had five players, the Tennessee Titans had five players, and the Jacksonville Jaguars had four players. Based off how the division has played out in the past few years, the total player count for each team seems about right. Indianapolis has basically run this division for a few years, Houston has come the closest in second, but not too close. Meanwhile, the Jaguars and Titans are bottom dwellers looking to improve.
Interestingly enough, the Colts had all of the special teams players. Adam Vinatieri was obvious, same with Pat McAfee, but a rookie return man (Phillip Dorsett) making the roster says a lot about not only his skill, but how bad the divisional return men are. Phillip Dorsett hasn't even played a single return snap and the NFL already views him better than what the Texans, Titans, and Jaguars have as return men.
Defensively, each team had a sprinkle of their players. No team has been dominant defensively in the division, so none of this is surprising. For defensive players, Indianapolis had four players, Tennessee had four players, Jacksonville had three players, and Houston had two players. There really weren't any surprises for the defensive team, everybody that logically should have made the team did make it.
Offensively, the Colts had the most players in this unit as well. Indianapolis had four players, Houston had three players, Jacksonville had three players, and Tennessee had only one player. There were no surprises here either, however, everybody that should have made the roster did make it. Indianapolis had the most and rightfully so, it was a little sad that the Titans only had one player, but that was expected.
