FOXBOROUGH,
Mass. – The
Patriots Hall of Fame Nomination Committee, a 27-person panel consisting of
reporters, alumni and staff, gathered virtually on Monday, April 13, to
nominate, debate and select the New England Patriots 2010s All-Decade Team.
The 29-position All-Decade Team consists
of 12 offensive players, including a flex player, 12 defensive players, one
kicker, one punter, one returner, one special teams player and a head coach.
Julian Edelman earned two positions on the team, one as a wide receiver and the
other as a returner. He is the only player to be selected at two positions. Of
the 28 representatives on the team, 16 were unanimous selections. Five of the
members were also members of the 2000s All-Decade team. Quarterback Tom Brady, guard
Logan Mankins, wide receiver Wes Welker, defensive lineman Vince Wilfork and
head coach Bill Belichick have the distinction of being selected to both teams.
Six members of the Patriots all-decade
team were also members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame's all-decade team,
which was announced earlier this month. That team included Brady, Rob
Gronkowski and Mankins on offense, Chandler Jones on defense, Stephen
Gostkowski on special teams and Belichick as the head coach.
