Oakland Raiders 2010s All-Decade Team: Defense and Specialists
By Nick Ellis
The final decade of Oakland Raiders football has come to an end, and here is our All-Decade team for the defensive side of the ball.
As we wrap up our All-Decade teams for the Oakland Raiders during the 2010s, we shift our focus to the defense and special teams. The defense boasted arguably the best player in the decade for the Raiders, edge rusher Khalil Mack, who was traded away prior to the 2018 NFL season.
While the Raiders did not rack up many wins during the 2010s, making only one playoff appearance, they did feature some of the better players in football. Guys like Mack and Nnamdi Asomugha were some of the better players in the league at their respective positions, and they certainly have their place on our All-Decade team.
Looking ahead to the new decade, there will be a brand new era of Raiders football, as they make their way to Sin City and become the Las Vegas Raiders. Hopefully, this team can be better on this side of the ball moving forward, as the defense played a huge role in the failures of their organization over the last ten seasons.
Here is our 2010s All-Decade team for the Raiders defense.
