Our Top Five NFL Players Of The Decade

As we are entering 2020, it is now time to take a look at the top five National Football League players over the last 10 years. It should come as no surprise who we decided to be number one.

5) Antonio Brown – Pittsburgh Steelers

We all know that Antonio Brown can be a handful, but he has slick hands as well. In the 2010s, Brown had 841 catches for 11 236 yards and 75 touchdowns for the Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots. If Brown would have played the entire 2019 NFL season, he would have been first in all three receiving categories. The native of Miami went to seven Pro Bowls during the decade, and led the NFL in receptions in a season twice, receiving yards in a season twice and touchdown receptions in a season once.

4) Von Miller – Denver Broncos

The Super Bowl MVP in 2016, Miller was simply sensational when the Denver Broncos did not have possession of the football. In 135 games with the Broncos this past decade, Miller had 496 tackles and 106 sacks. He went to eight Pro Bowls and was the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2011. The native of Dallas, Texas also had 26 forced fumbles and two interceptions.

3) Aaron Rodgers – Green Bay Packers

The Super Bowl MVP in 2011, Aaron Rodgers of Chico, CA was flawless. He guided the Packers to nine winning seasons in the decade and was named to eight Pro Bowls. The NFL’s most valuable player in 2011 and 2014, Rodgers led the NFL in touchdown passes with 40 in 2016.

2) Drew Brees – New Orleans Saints

Like Miller, Brees was a native of Dallas. A nine-time Pro Bowler, Brees led the NFL five times in passing yards during the decade including a career-high 5476 yards in 2011. In 2016, Brees also set the NFL record for most completions in a season with 471. In back-to-back seasons Brees reached the 40 touchdown plateau in a single season. He had 46 touchdowns in 2011 and 43 touchdowns in 2012. The Super Bowl MVP in 2010, Brees was also the NFL Offensive Player of the Year in 2011.

1) Tom Brady – New England Patriots

Arguably the best quarterback and football player in National Football League history, Brady is number one based on his playoff success. He guided the Patriots to three Super Bowl titles in the last 10 years in 2015, 2017 and 2019. He was the Super Bowl MVP in the last two victories. A nine-time Pro Bowler from 2010 to 2018, Brady was the NFL’s most valuable player in 2010 and 2017. Twice Brady led the NFL in passing touchdowns and led the NFL with 4577 yards in 2017.
