The American Football League (AFL) All- Time Team was selected in 1970 by a panel of Hall of Fame selectors comprised of professional football writers from American Football League cities. A First and Second team were selected. Since the First team included two halfbacks, rather than a halfback and a fullback, Cookie Gilchrist, a fullback who was selected as a second-team running back, is the only fullback on either team, and therefore the American Football League's All-Time fullback.
