"Two current Broncos have been named to the NFL's all-decade team for the 2000s.

Cornerback Champ Bailey and safety Brian Dawkins are among the 15 players already named to the all-decade team, which is selected by the Pro Football Hall of Fame selection committee. The NFL has released only the portion of the team that includes active Pro Bowl players. The remainder of the all-decade team, including non-Pro Bowlers and retired players, will be announced during the telecast of the Pro Bowl on Sunday.

Bailey has spent the past six of his 11 NFL seasons in Denver after starting his career with Washington. He made the Pro Bowl in nine of the 10 years in the decade, missing out only in 2008 because of injuries. Dawkins spent only 2009 in Denver after playing the rest of the decade with Philadelphia.

"This is one of the greatest honors that you can have in this league other than team things," Bailey said in a statement released by the Broncos. "As far as personal goals, this one never really crossed my mind.""
