The NFL and the Pro Football Hall of Fame have announced that a total of 52 players and two head coaches have been selected for the 2010s All-Decade team.
The Kansas City Chiefs have the second-most players named to the NFL’s 2010s All-Decade team with six total players. That group includes three players currently on the team and three former players. Travis Kelce, Tyreek Hill and Tyrann Mathieu headline the group as the current players and LeSean McCoy, Eric Berry and Darrelle Revis are the former players named to the team.
A name noticeably absent from the list is Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes. It’s hard to compete with the achievements of Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers— the two quarterbacks selected for this particular decade. Mahomes only has two years in this decade, despite those being two of the best years by a QB in NFL history. I suspect that Mahomes will have a shot at being a unanimous selection for the 2020s decade.
None of the players for the Chiefs were among the eight players voted in as unanimous selections. Every player besides Hill made the list at their primary position, while Hill was voted in a punt return specialist.
The great thing for Kansas City is that the three players that are still on the roster should still have many good years ahead of them. None of them are over 30 years old and all of them remain under contract through the 2021 NFL season.
