Ok we still have one year to go but we've made it through another decade. The sports writers usually get together to put an All Decade team together I was wondering what should a 2010's All Decade team look like?

QB- Tom Brady

The rest though?!

This is what I got.

Offense.

QB-Tom Brady
RB-Adrian Peterson
WR-Antonio Brown
WR-Julio Jones
WR-Calvin Johnson
TE-Rob Gronkowski
LT-Joe Thomas
LG-Marshall Yanda
C-Nick Mangold
RG-Zack Martin
RT-Jason Peters

Defense

DE-JJ Watt
NT-Haloti Ngata
DE-Aaron Donald
OLB-Von Miller
ILB-Bobby Wagner
ILB-Luke Kuechly
OLB-Khalil Mack
CB-Patrick Peterson
CB-Darrelle Revis
FS-Earl Thomas
SS-Eric Weddle

Special Teams

K-Stephen Gostkowski
P-Johnny Hekker
Return Specialist-Cordarelle Patterson

Hopefully UT and HR will weigh in as well, along with some of the other NFL posters.

Good list LT, I'd swap Revis for Sherman. Since Revis 09 year won't count, Revis had missed a majority of the 12 year, had a so so year with the Bucs, bombed with the Jets his second tenure and was God awful as A Chief.

Richard Sherman for all his shit talk was brilliant for more years since 09 won't count and he is still going albeit he isn't as dominant as once before. Revis had three great years, 10 and 11 and as a traitor in 15.

I think especially with one year to go I would swap Gost with Justin Tucker. But I get it, Gostowski has super bowl wins but Tucker is the most accurate kicker in NFL history and is right now the best kicker in the game.

LTs list is probably pretty spot on. I’d probably make Tucker the kicker. Eric Berry if he had stayed healthy would have been a lock for safety.

Crazy that Mack is on there. At first I thought there’s no way he played enough in the decade but he’s been around longer than one realizes.

Also maybe Atkins at DT. I’m not too sold on either though.

Speaking of the Bengals id take Aj Green over Megatron. Had Calvin played more, sure but he played half of the decade, doesn't touch what Green has done for a full 9, maybe soon to be 10.

Dre Hopkins if he destroys it in 19 also has a better resume than Johnson.

I'm not convinced by Haloti Ngata as I don't think he has been a truly elite player since about 2013. For me Donald gets the DT spot, and the second DE goes to either Cam Wake or Calais Campbell.

Yeah Donald and Watt were locks.  Picking that 3rd D-line spot gave me some trouble.

Geno Atkins. I’m telling ya!

Looking back they do actually pick a 4-3 defence.

Could there be a case for LeSean McCoy over Adrian Peterson at RB? AP's high was higher but McCoy's definitely been more consistent. 1000 more rushing yards, 2000 more receiving yards and 9 more touchdowns.

I find that odd considering most team in the 2010's ran a 3-4.    In that case I would just slide Mack up to DE and move Donald to the 3 tech spot.   Kuechly would be my MLB and I would have Miller on the weak side and Wagner on the strong side.

Thoughts? Surprises? Snubs?

Things that stood out to me:
Gronk not unanimous?!
NFL really needs to get with the times and update defence to group all EDGE players together
S/DB is probably the most debatable - I'd probably argue for Kam Chancellor and Harrison Smith over Berry and Mathieu

Bumping this because my merge fucked it up.

Lavonte David is another real snub - top in the decade amongst off ball linebackers for tackles, tackles for loss and forced fumbles.

Alex Mack making it at center over Nick Mangold is absolutely laughable. Mack never even made a first team All-Pro. Mangold also had more Pro Bowl selections.

Yep good call. Jason Kelce is hard done by too, he has more all pros than both. This is an example of inconsistency in selection - you can probably argue that Mack deserves it on consistency over the decade while the other two had higher highs. But if that was the direction things went in, then Drew Brees beats Aaron Rodgers. 🤷
