The 2010s were not a great decade for the Detroit Lions as they once again failed to win a division championship. That being said, they did have some great players on their team over that time and five of them are being recognized for their efforts.
On Wednesday, ESPN released their NFC North All-Decade team for the 2010s and five Lions players made the cut.
Those players are WR Calvin Johnson, DT Ndamukong Suh, CB Darius Slay, S Glover Quin, and P Sam Martin.
Here is the full All-Decade team, via ESPN.com.
