Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, Bill Belichick Named To NFL's All-Decade Team For 2010s

BOSTON (CBS) -- The New England Patriots won three Super Bowls and made two more during the 10 seasons of the 2010s. Unsurprisingly, Patriots players were not difficult to find on the NFL's All-Decade Team.

Tom Brady was the unanimous selection at quarterback, while Rob Gronkowski and Stephen Gostkowski were other players on the team who spent the entire decade with the Patriots.

Other players on the All-Decade Team spent time with the Patriots during the 2010s, as well, including Logan Mankins, Chandler Jones, Darrelle Revis, Cordarrelle Patterson, and Antonio Brown (for one game). Of that group of Patriots, all but Brown, Mankins and Jones won a Super Bowl with New England. Brady, Gronkowski and Gostkowski each won three championships.

The head coaches for the All-Decade Team? Bill Belichick obviously earned one of the spots, while Seattle's Pete Carroll earned the other.

Brady was one of just eight players to earn a unanimous vote on the squad, and Brady earned the rare achievement of making the All-Decade Team in both the 2000s and the 2010s.

"Brady, a sixth-round draft pick taken as the 199th selection in 2000, led the Patriots to 10 AFC Division East Division titles, five AFC Championships, and three Super Bowl victories," the Pro Football Hall of Fame's website noted. "He threw for 43,727 yards, 316 TDs, and just 80 INTs during the decade.

The vote was made by the 48-member selection committee for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

The complete roster for the All-Decade Team is below.
