These are the Packers Named to NFL's 2010s All Decade Team
The NFL announced its All-Decade team for the 2010s.
By TimBackes
The NFL released its All-Decade Team for the 2010s, and there were several representatives of the green and gold on the list.
Aaron Rodgers is the only Packers "lifer" to be represented. He joined Tom Brady as the two quarterbacks selected to the list. Brady was one of several unanimous selections.
Offenslive lineman Jahri Evans made the list, though he did so on the basis of his tenure with the New Orleans Saints. Evans only played one (respectfully solid) year in Green Bay and ended his career after that season in 2017.
Defensive lineman Julius Peppers was also on the list. Peppers spent three seasons in Green Bay (2014-2016), making an immediate impact on a defense that desperately needed veteran leadership. Peppers saw a bit of a late-career rejuvenation in Titletown before returning to Carolina to play out the remainder of his Hall of Fame career.

The drop off in real contributions by Peppers in those 3 GB years could be used as argument that GB brought out the worse in Peppers.
Evans making the same case by his play for another organization.
Just saying. : )
