Several Saints Make NFL 2010s All-Decade Team

The NFL Pro Football Hall of Fame announced its 2010 NFL All-Decade Team, and several members of the New Orleans Saints made the cut.

However, Saints quarterback Drew Brees, the NFL's all-time leader in passing yards and passing touchdowns, is not one of them.

Brees was also snubbed of the "NFL's Top 100 Greatest Players" list released last December.

The two quarterbacks who made the 2010 All-Decade Team are Tampa Bay Buccaneers (previously of the Patriots) QB Tom Brady and Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers.

New Orleans defensive end Cameron Jordan made the All-Decade team, as did former Saints guard Jahri Evans, who spent the majority of his career with the Saints and was a 4-time NFL First-Team AP All-Pro.

Running back/return man Darren Sproles made the team at two spots, both the FLEX position and as a punt returner.

Sproles spent three seasons of the 2010s decade with the Saints (2011-13), breaking the NFL single-season record for all-purpose yards with 2,696 in his first year with New Orleans.

The team was voted on by the Pro Football Hall of Fame 48 member selection committee.

Here's a rundown of the 55-member NFL 2010s All-Decade Team.
