There are many different accolades that players can earn throughout their career. From the Pro Bowl, all the way up to the All-Decade teams and eventually the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Each group gets more exclusive along the way. ESPN just released an All-Quarter Century team put together by Seth Walder and Aaron Schatz.
Only players’ production since 2000 count toward this list, but there are some players who began their careers in the 90s. Two Pittsburgh Steelers Hall of Famers made this elite list. Alan Faneca and Troy Polamalu headline the list for Pittsburgh, but Patrick Peterson also made the cut along with several others in the “Practice Squad” honorable mentions section.
