Former Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, the only non-quarterback to win a NFL Most Valuable Player award during the past decade, was one of eight unanimous selections for the NFL’s Team of the 2010s, the league and the Pro Football Hall of Fame announced earlier today.
And what an easy vote these elite eight were for those of us on the Hall’s 48-member selection committee.
Tom Brady, nearing age 43 and with a new team as he heads into his third decade, was the greatest of these slam dunks. Winning three of his six Super Bowls with the Patriots, Brady became the first quarterback to make multiple teams of the decade.
