PFF revealed their All-Decade team this week, naming the top 101 players from 2010 to 2019. The list featured several Detroit Lions players, including Ndamukong Suh (71) and Damon Harrison Sr. (56). But no Lions player finished higher than wide receiver Calvin Johnson.
Despite playing until just 2015, Johnson finished 16th on PFF’s list, behind only Antonio Brown (13) and Julio Jones (8) at the wide receiver position. That’s an impressive feat considering PFF admitted their list was skewed against player who only played a portion of the decade:
“Playing time was factored into the decisions, too; somebody who played twice as much within the decade was given some level of preference over players who played only a few seasons in the 2010s.
