Antonio Brown, Maurkice Pouncey represent Steelers on NFL all-decade team

Two members of the Pittsburgh Steelers — one former and one current — were among the 52 players selected to the NFL all-decade team for the 2010s, the league announced Monday in conjunction with the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Antonio Brown was one of four wide receivers, and Maurkice Pouncey was one of two centers elected to the team. Brown was joined by Julio Jones, Calvin Johnson and former Pitt star Larry Fitzgerald. Pouncey joined Alex Mack as the centers on the team.

The team also included two coaches: New England’s Bill Belichick and Seattle’s Pete Carroll.

The team was selected by a 48-member committee. Players who received one selection to a Pro Bowl, AP All-Pro team or Pro Football Writers Association all-conference team were eligible.

Pouncey was the first center in NFL history to be selected to the Pro Bowl in each of his first three seasons, and he has earned eight selections in his career. Brown was a seven-time Pro Bowl pick and four-time first-team All-Pro selection during his nine seasons with the Steelers.

Pouncey and Brown give the Steelers their 25th and 26th representatives on an NFL all-decade team.

Steelers players snubbed from the list included guard David DeCastro, a five-time Pro Bowl selection, and safety Troy Polamalu, a member of the 2000s all-decade team who likely was excluded because he retired after the 2015 season.

Fitzgerald was one of four former Pitt players to make the list, joining defensive lineman Aaron Donald, running back LeSean McCoy and cornerback Darrelle Revis.

Donald was one of eight players to be voted onto the list unanimously. The other unanimous picks were quarterback Tom Brady, running back Adrian Peterson, tackle Joe Thomas, guard Marshal Yanda, defensive end J.J. Watt, linebacker Von Miller and kicker Justin Tucker.
