Pro Football Hall of Fame names offensive All-Decade Team of the 2010s

The Pro Football Hall of Fame announced its All-Decade Team of the 2010s, and it's hard to argue with the players selected on the offensive side.

The players were selected by the Pro Football Hall of Fame's 48-member selection committee. Only players who received at least one selection to a Pro Bowl, Associated Press All-Pro Team or Pro Football Writers Association All-Conference Team during the 2010-19 seasons were eligible.

Eight players were unanimously selected to the team. Let's break down the players selected.
