Only players who received at least one selection to a Pro Bowl, Associated Press All-Pro team or Pro Football Writers of America all- conference team during the 2010-19 seasons were eligible. Eight unanimous selections – quarterback TOM BRADY, defensive tackle AARON DONALD, linebacker VON MILLER, running back ADRIAN PETERSON, offensive tackle JOE THOMAS, kicker JUSTIN TUCKER, defensive end J.J. WATT and guard MARSHAL YANDA – appear among the 53 players. Brady and Green Bay’s AARON RODGERS, the two quarterbacks on the team, guided their respective clubs to the NFL’s top two win-loss records during the decade, including postseason. The Patriots were 141-42-0 (.770) while the Packers were 112-63-2 (.638). Linebacker BOBBY WAGNER leads a parade of five Seahawks who spent all or most of the decade in Seattle. In addition to Wagner, Seattle is represented by former cornerback RICHARD SHERMAN, former safety EARL THOMAS and running back MARSHAWN LYNCH. Head coach PETE CARROLL, who led the team to eight playoff berths, two Super Bowls and one championship during the decade, is one of two coaches on the all-decade team. The NFC West, which has sent a club to five of the last eight Super Bowls, is the most heavily represented division. Players who played primarily in the division on the all-decade team also include Donald (Los Angeles Rams), defensive end CALAIS CAMPBELL (Arizona), wide receiver LARRY FITZGERALD (Arizona), running back FRANK GORE (San Francisco), punter JOHNNY HEKKER (Los Angeles Rams), linebacker CHANDLER JONES (Arizona), cornerback PATRICK PETERSON (Arizona), tackle JOE STALEY (San Francisco) and linebacker PATRICK WILLIS (San Francisco). In addition to Carroll, the other head coach on the team is BILL BELICHICK, now one of two coaches ever to appear on multiple all-decade teams, joining Pro Football Hall of Famer CHUCK NOLL (1970s and 1980s). Belichick and Pro Football Hall of Famer TONY DUNGY were the coaches on the 2000s team. Joining Belichick are four other Patriots who combined to guide New England during the decade to five Super Bowls, more than any team. Brady, former kicker STEPHEN GOSTKOWSKI, former tight end ROB GRONKOWSKI and former guard LOGAN MANKINS also spent all or the majority of the decade with the club. Belichick and Brady join kick returner DEVIN HESTER, punter SHANE LECHLER and defensive end JULIUS PEPPERS as the five individuals to make the team in each of the last two decades. DARREN SPROLES, selected as both an offensive flex player and a punt returner, is the fourth individual ever to appear on an all-decade team at multiple positions, joining MEL GRAY (kick returner and punt returner in 1990s), DANTE HALL (kick returner and punt returner in 2000s) and Pro Football Hall of Famer DEION SANDERS (cornerback and punt returner in 1990s). The NFL replaced fullback on the 2010s team with the flex position, reflecting the evolution of the game. The flex is defined as a player who fits several offensive roles for his club. Sproles tied for second among NFL players during the decade with five punt-return touchdowns. The KANSAS CITY CHIEFS, who captured Super Bowl LIV in February, placed five individuals on the team, former safety ERIC BERRY, punt returner TYREEK HILL, tight end TRAVIS KELCE, defensive back TYRANN MATHIEU and running back LESEAN MCCOY, who also played for Philadelphia and Buffalo during the decade. Two clubs placed multiple offensive linemen on the all-decade team. The DALLAS COWBOYS were represented by both guard ZACK MARTIN and offensive tackle TYRON SMITH while the CLEVELAND BROWNS were led by unanimous selection JOE THOMAS at offensive tackle and ALEX MACK, who played center from 2009-15 before signing with the Falcons. Also, three players who earned the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year during the decade made the team: Campbell (2019), Fitzgerald (2016) and Watt (2017). 1920s All-Decade Team End Guy Chamberlin End Lavern Dilweg End George Halas Tackle Ed Healey Tackle Wilbur (Pete) Henry Tackle Cal Hubbard Tackle Steve Owen Guard Hunk Anderson Guard Walt Kiesling Guard Mike Michalske Center George Trafton Quarterback Jimmy Conzelman Quarterback John (Paddy) Driscoll Halfback Harold (Red) Grange Halfback Joe Guyon Halfback Earl (Curly) Lambeau Halfback Jim Thorpe Fullback Ernie Nevers 1930s All-Decade Team End Bill Hewitt End Don Hutson End Wayne Millner End Gaynell Tinsley Tackle George Christensen Tackle Frank Cope Tackle Glen (Turk) Edwards Tackle Bill Lee Tackle Joe Stydahar Guard Grover (Ox) Emerson Guard Dan Fortmann Guard Charles (Buckets) Goldenberg Guard Russ Letlow Center Mel Hein Center George Svendsen Quarterback Earl (Dutch) Clark Quarterback Arnie Herber Quarterback Cecil Isbell Halfback Cliff Battles Halfback Johnny (Blood) McNally Halfback Beattie Feathers Halfback Alphonse (Tuffy) Leemans Halfback Ken Strong Fullback Clarke Hinkle Fullback Bronko Nagurski 1940s All-Decade Team End Jim Benton End Jack Ferrante End Ken Kavanaugh End Dante Lavelli End Pete Pihos End Mac Speedie End Ed Sprinkle Tackle Al Blozis Tackle George Connor Tackle Frank (Bucko) Kilroy Tackle Buford (Baby) Ray Tackle Vic Sears Tackle Al Wistert Guard Bruno Banducci Guard Bill Edwards Guard Garrard (Buster) Ramsey Guard Bill Willis Guard Len Younce Center Charley Brock Center Clyde (Bulldog) Turner Center Alex Wojciechowicz Quarterback Sammy Baugh Quarterback Sid Luckman Quarterback Bob Waterfield Halfback Tony Canadeo Halfback Bill Dudley Halfback George McAfee Halfback Charley Trippi Halfback Steve Van Buren Halfback Byron (Whizzer) White Fullback Pat Harder Fullback Marion Motley Fullback Bill Osmanski 1950s All-Decade Team Offense End Raymond Berry End Tom Fears End Bobby Walston Halfback-End Elroy (Crazylegs) Hirsch Tackle Roosevelt Brown Tackle Bob St. Clair Guard Dick Barwegan Guard Jim Parker Guard Dick Stanfel Center Chuck Bednarik Quarterback Otto Graham Quarterback Bobby Layne Quarterback Norm Van Brocklin Halfback Frank Gifford Halfback Ollie Matson Halfback Hugh McElhenny Halfback Lenny Moore Fullback Alan Ameche Fullback Joe Perry Kicker Lou Groza Defense End Len Ford End Gino Marchetti Tackle Art Donovan Tackle Leo Nomellini Tackle Ernie Stautner Linebacker Joe Fortunato Linebacker Bill George Linebacker Sam Huff Linebacker Joe Schmidt Halfback Jack Butler Halfback Dick (Night Train) Lane Safety Jack Christiansen Safety Yale Lary Safety Emlen Tunnell 1960s All-Decade Team Offense Split End Del Shofner Split End Charley Taylor Flanker Gary Collins Flanker Boyd Dowler Tight End John Mackey Tackle Bob Brown Tackle Forrest Gregg Tackle Ralph Neely Guard Gene Hickerson Guard Jerry Kramer Guard Howard Mudd Center Jim Ringo Quarterback Sonny Jurgensen Quarterback Bart Starr Quarterback Johnny Unitas Halfback John David Crow Halfback Paul Hornung Halfback Leroy Kelly Halfback Gale Sayers Fullback Jim Brown Fullback Jim Taylor Kicker Jim Bakken Defense End Doug Atkins End Willie Davis End David (Deacon) Jones Tackle Alex Karras Tackle Bob Lilly Tackle Merlin Olsen Linebacker Dick Butkus Linebacker Larry Morris Linebacker Ray Nitschke Linebacker Tommy Nobis Linebacker Dave Robinson Cornerback Herb Adderley Cornerback Lem Barney Cornerback Bobby Boyd Safety Eddie Meador Safety Larry Wilson Safety Willie Wood Punter Don Chandler 1970s All-Decade Team Offense Wide Receiver Harold Carmichael Wide Receiver Drew Pearson Wide Receiver Lynn Swann Wide Receiver Paul Warfield Tight End Dave Casper Tight End Charlie Sanders Tackle Dan Dierdorf Tackle Art Shell Tackle Rayfield Wright Tackle Ron Yary Guard Joe DeLamielleure Guard John Hannah Guard Larry Little Guard Gene Upshaw Center Jim Langer Center Mike Webster Quarterback Terry Bradshaw Quarterback Ken Stabler Quarterback Roger Staubach Running Back Earl Campbell Running Back Franco Harris Running Back Walter Payton Running Back O.J.
