One of the most memorable and chaotic regular seasons in college football history has wrapped up and a select number of players rose above their peers, taking their performances to a level beyond the remarkable and etching themselves into the very fabric of what makes Saturdays so special.

For this group, every snap between the lines, every bone-crushing tackle and every heroic touchdown was an extraordinary feat that got fans out of their seats and left jaws on the floor.

Having covered the sport from the opening snaps of fall camp all the way through the memorable results of Championship Weekend, our team of experts was able to sift through it all and narrow it down to a list of players who help tell the story of the season. They stand above and are worthy enough to earn recognition as 2022 FOX Sports All-Americans.

The list naturally includes the man who claimed the Heisman Trophy as the best player in the nation.

But it goes far beyond that. College Football Playoff participants were well represented among the group, with Michigan (2), Georgia (3), Ohio State (3) and TCU (4) all producing multiple selections across the first and second teams. The Big Ten (21) led the way with total selections across all the spots, followed by the Big 12 (9), SEC (9), Pac-12 (7) and ACC (2).

Here are our All-Americans, selected cumulatively by FOX Sports college football writers RJ Young, Bryan Fischer and Michael Cohen.
