The NFL and the Pro Football Hall of Fame have announced their roster for the 2010s All-Decade Team. This roster included starters and backups at nearly every position, totaling 52 players and two head coaches. Each of these players/coaches is considered one of the best the NFL had to offer during the last 10 seasons, and some will even be regarded as the best in the history of the sport.

Nobody enjoyed more success over the last decade than the New England Patriots. This starts at the top of the ladder with owner Robert Kraft, but it was continued and executed by the coaches and players on the field and in the locker room.

As expected, the Patriots were heavily featured on the All-Decade Team. These nine players/coaches spent at least part of the decade with New England.

HC Bill Belichick (2010-2019)

This was the most obvious choice of everyone that made the list. Belichick coached the Patriots for the entirety of the 2010s and was, far and away, the best coach in the league. Examples of this can be seen in his 125-35 (.781) record during the regular season and 16-7 (.696) record in the playoffs during the decade. Oh, and that includes three more Super Bowls.

With this honor, Belichick became the second coach in NFL history to be named to two All-Decade Teams, as former Steelers’ coach Chuck Noll was named to the 1970s and 1980s All-Decade Teams.
