AP one of eight unanimous picks for NFL's all-decade team
Former Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, the only non-quarterback to win a NFL Most Valuable Player award during the past decade, was one of eight unanimous selections for the NFL’s Team of the 2010s, the league and the Pro Football Hall of Fame announced earlier today.
Tom Brady, nearing age 43 and with a new team as he heads into his third decade, was the greatest of these slam dunks. Winning three of his six Super Bowls with the Patriots, Brady became the first quarterback to make multiple teams of the decade.
Joining Brady and Peterson as unanimous selections are defensive linemen J.J. Watt and Aaron Donald, kicker Justin Tucker, offensive tackle Joe Thomas and guard Marshal Yanda

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
Im still collecting Patterson cards. His return numbers are way too good to still be sitting priced at bust WR. Not worth overpaying, but definately worth the giveaway prices...
1. Weddle over Harry is a crime against humanity.
2. RB – Frank Gore, Marshawn Lynch, LeSean McCoy, Adrian Peterson
The other 3 are great players, but AP is leagues better than any of them. Shame they didn't break the All-Decade Team into First Team and Second Team like the used to do. Wonder which of the other 3 would've been First Team. Gore, probably.
