The New England Patriots have announced their 2010s All-Decade team as we close the book on the 2010s and move into the 2020 NFL season. The team was selected by a 27-person panel made up of reporters, Patriots Alumni, and staff. Overall there are 29 positions including 12 offensive players, one flex player, 12 defensive players, one kicker, a punter, one returner, one special teamer, and a coach.
Key Takeaways:
- Julian Edelman listed for two positions
- 16 of the 28 players were unanimous
- Five of the members were also apart of the 2000s all-decade team: Tom Brady, Logan Mankins, Wes Welker, Vince Wilfork, and Bill Belichick.
- Six were apart of the Pro Football Hall of Fame all-decade team: Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, Logan Makins, Chandler Jones, Stephen Gostkowski, and Bill Belichick
Overall it will be interesting to see what the next decade holds for the New England Patriots. Brady is no-more and it is unlikely the Patriots would have any of their current staff or players here for the next ten years. Incredibly interesting to see what the 2020s all-decade team looks like and what he seasons looked like in order to get there.
