Packers QB Aaron Rodgers named to NFL’s All-Decade Team
Aaron Rodgers’ performance with the Green Bay Packers during the 2010s has earned him a coveted honor.
It was announced Monday that Rodgers, along with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Tom Brady, had been named to the NFL All-Decade Team at quarterback by the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Rodgers guided the Packers to the second-best record during the decade, while winning one Super Bowl and appearing in a total of four NFC Championship Games. He also won a pair of Most Valuable Player awards and was selected to seven Pro Bowls.
The former No. 1 pick in 2005 joins Brett Favre, Bart Starr, Arnie Herber and Cecil Isbell as Packers quarterbacks to be named to an All-Decade Team.
Two other former Packers — Jahri Evans (2018) and Julius Peppers (2014-16) — also made the cut, as did a pair of former Badgers in tackle Joe Thomas and defensive end J.J. Watt. Thomas and Watt were two of eight players to be selected unanimously.
