The NFL and Pro Football Hall of Fame released its All-Decade Team of the 2010s on Monday afternoon, but only one New York athlete made the cut.
Former Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis was the lone representative from the Big Apple, being named alongside Patrick Peterson and Richard Sherman as the other cornerbacks selected.
The pool of players was limited to only those who made an AP All-Pro team, a Pro Bowl, or Pro Football Writers of America all-conference squad between 2010-19. Fifty-five players in total were selected by a 48-team selection committee from the Hall of Fame.

— NFL (@NFL) April 6, 2020Revis, who was a first-round draft pick by the Jets in 2007, spent eight of his 11 seasons in the NFL with Gang Green, where he had some of his best seasons — going to five of his seven Pro Bowls and earning three of his four All-Pro honors.
While he spent the 2013 season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and won a Super Bowl in 2014 as a member of the New England Patriots, Revis returned to the team after his stint in New England for two more Pro Bowl seasons.
Revis, who retired after the 2017 season, is likely a first-ballot Hall of Famer as he is already being recognized as one of the most dominant cornerbacks of his era.
No other Jets made the list, and no Giants were named, either.
Tom Brady, J.J. Watt, Adrian Peterson, Von Miller, Aaron Donald, Joe Thomas, Marshal Yanda and Justin Tucker were all unanimous selections.
