All-Ireland winners Tyrone have received 15 nominations for this year's Football All-Stars.
Cathal McShane, who came off the bench to score an important goal in the Red Hands' final victory over Mayo, is among the nominations despite not starting an All-Ireland game.
Armagh brothers Rian and Oisin O'Neill are nominated, with Monaghan getting three and Donegal one.
Kieran McGeary and Conor Meyler are nominated for Player of the Year.
The Tyrone pair are joined on that shortlist by Mayo's Lee Keegan, while their Red Hands team-mate Darragh Canavan has been nominated for Young Player of the Year alongside Galway's Matthew Tierney and Mayo's Oisin Mullin, who won the award last year.
Dublin midfielder Brian Fenton won the Footballer of the Year award for a second time last year, becoming only the third player to do so.
There are a total of 11 counties represented in the nominations, with eight for defeated All-Ireland finalists Mayo, seven for Kerry and five for Dublin.
Two out of the three goalkeepers on the shortlist are from Ulster counties, with Tyrone's Niall Morgan joined by Rory Beggan of Monaghan.
