The National Football League 2010s All-Decade Team is composed of outstanding performers in the National Football League in the ten years spanning 2010–2019. Only a player or coach's performance during the decade was used as criteria for voting.[1][2][3]
Tom Brady, Adrian Peterson, Joe Thomas, Marshal Yanda, J. J. Watt, Aaron Donald, Von Miller, and Justin Tucker were all unanimous selections. Tom Brady, Julius Peppers, Shane Lechler, Devin Hester and Bill Belichick had been previously named to the Pro Football Hall of Fame's 2000s All-Decade Team.
