Green Bay Packers: Assembling an All-Decade Team, 2010-19
By Joe Kipp
Defensive Line
Defensive end: Mike Daniels
Mike Daniels was one of the more underrated defensive linemen in the NFL until recently. Daniels was versatile in his alignment, playing at either defensive end or defensive tackle in a 3-4 front, but for the sake of getting the best 11 defenders on the All-Decade team, we’re placing him at defensive end. Daniels made a Pro Bowl in 2017 and racked up 29 sacks, 47 tackles for losses and 68 quarterback hits with the Packers from 2012-2018.
Defensive tackle: Kenny Clark
Kenny Clark was finally named to his first Pro Bowl in 2019 but has quietly been dominating interior offensive linemen since being drafted back in the first round in 2016. Though he didn’t flash too much as a rookie, Clark has shown to be one of the Packers’ best defensive assets over the last two seasons. As a defensive tackle/nose tackle, Clark has 16.5 sacks in his four seasons, including six sacks in each of the past two years.
Nose tackle: B.J. Raji
B.J. Raji played seven seasons for the Packers and was named to the 2011 Pro Bowl. He was drafted ninth overall in the 2009 NFL Draft. In Week 11 of 2011, on his only rushing attempt of his career, Raji scored a touchdown against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He will forever be remembered for his celebratory touchdown dance against the Chicago Bears in the 2011 NFC Championship Game.
