All Lions: Five Lions Named to NFC North All-Decade Team

Calvin Johnson, Ndamukong Suh, Darius Slay, Glover Quin and Sam Martin were named to the ESPN All-Decade Team.

Five members of the Detroit Lions were named to the NFC North All-Decade Team, as voted by ESPN reporters covering the division. 

Led by wide receiver Calvin Johnson, the list also includes cornerback Darius Slay, safety Glover Quin, defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh and punter Sam Martin.

Johnson was also selected as the Lions Player of the Decade.

“Johnson is the easy selection for the Lions,” ESPN’s Mike Rothstein explained. “He's the only surefire Hall of Famer to play a significant portion of the 2010s with Detroit and he was for a time the best receiver in the NFL."
