Two 49ers named to NFL all-decade team
Monday, February 1, 2010 | Niner Cap Hell
Two former 49ers were named to the NFL's 2000s All-Decade Team. Wideout
Terrell Owens, who had 3 of his best seasons with the 49ers in 2000, 2001 and 2002 and guard
Larry Allen, who helped lead the way for Frank Gore's franchise record rushing season in 2006, are the only representatives for the team in a very poor overall decade for the franchise. The only candidate that could be considered a snub would be
Bryant Young, who you can make an argument for being every bit as good or better than the other defensive tackles that made the team.
The 2000s team was a far cry in comparison to the golden era of the 49ers. The 1980s team included 49ers
Joe Montana, Roger Craig, Jerry Rice, Ronnie Lott, John Taylor and the late Bill Walsh while the 1990s team fielded
Jerry Rice, Chris Doleman, Bryant Young, Kevin Greene, Deion Sanders, Rod Woodson, Ronnie Lott and Gary Anderson.
