Summary

All-Star (Formally "Football Zombie", also sometimes called "All-Star Zombie") is a recurring character within the Plants vs. Zombies franchise. All-Star has had his abilities and role change between games, from being simply a zombie with high health to a playable character.

He is based off a traditional American football player, his original name having "football" in it and wearing football armor. Despite this, his Plants vs. Zombies entry as well as Plants vs. Zombies Heroes and Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville's descriptions reveal he doesn't know what a football actually is. Although according to Plants vs. Zombies he does. Because of this it's very inconsistent so it's unknown if this is true or not.

As of Plants vs. Zombies 3, All-Star has appeared in nine games.
