The NFL announced its All-Decade team Sunday and the Patriots are well represented.

Quarterback Tom Brady, head coach Bill Belichick and receiver Randy Moss are current members of the organization on the team. Former Patriots Ty Law (cornerback), Richard Seymour (defensive line) and Adam Vinatieri (kicker) are also part of the All-Decade team.

Brady was one of two quarterbacks (along with Peyton Manning), while Belichick was one of two coaches (along with Tony Dungy).

The All-Decade team was announced in conjunction with Sunday night's Pro Bowl. All-Decade teams are chosen every 10 years by the Pro Football Hall of Fame Selection Committee members. The 2000s marks the ninth All-Decade team to be selected in NFL history.
