NFL's 2010s All-Decade Team: Brady, Donald among unanimous selections
The NFL and the Pro Football Hall of Fame announced on Monday the 2010s All-Decade Team, which includes 52 different players and two head coaches.
Tom Brady, Aaron Donald, and Adrian Peterson are among eight players to receive unanimous nominations. With only two quarterbacks allowed, Drew Brees was arguably the most notable omission.
Here is the full team:
| Offense | Defense |
|---|---|
| QB Tom Brady* | DE Calais Campbell |
| QB Aaron Rodgers | DE Cameron Jordan |
| RB Frank Gore | DE Julius Peppers |
| RB Marshawn Lynch | DE J.J. Watt* |
| RB LeSean McCoy | DT Geno Atkins |
| RB Adrian Peterson* | DT Fletcher Cox |
| WR Antonio Brown | DT Aaron Donald* |
| WR Larry Fitzgerald | DT Ndamukong Suh |
| WR Calvin Johnson | LB Chandler Jones |
| WR Julio Jones | LB Luke Kuechly |
| FLEX Darren Sproles | LB Khalil Mack |
| TE Rob Gronkowski | LB Von Miller* |
| TE Travis Kelce | LB Bobby Wagner |
| OT Jason Peters | LB Patrick Willis |
| OT Tyron Smith | CB Patrick Peterson |
| OT Joe Staley | CB Darrelle Revis |
| OT Joe Thomas* | CB Richard Sherman |
| OG Jahri Evans | S Eric Berry |
| OG Logan Mankins | S Earl Thomas |
| OG Zack Martin | S Eric Weddle |
| OG Marshal Yanda* | DB Chris Harris Jr. |
| C Alex Mack | DB Tyrann Mathieu |
| C Maurkice Pouncey |
| Coaches/Specialists |
|---|
| HC Bill Belichick |
| HC Pete Carroll |
| P Johnny Hekker |
| P Shane Lechler |
| K Stephen Gostkowski |
| K Justin Tucker* |
| PR Tyreek Hill |
| PR Darren Sproles |
| KR Devin Hester |
| KR Cordarrelle Patterson |
The New England Patriots - who won three Super Bowls in five trips during the decade - topped all teams with nine nominations, though only Belichick remains with the team.
Brady and Belichick are among five people who also made the 2000s All-Decade Team along with Hester, Lechler, and Peppers.
A host of stars will get the chance to replicate that feat, as 39 of the 52 players on the 2010s All-Decade Team are still active entering the 2020 season.
