Eleven years. That's how long the USA TODAY All-Joe team has honored the hard-working if overlooked NFL players who do the dirty work and get no glory.

Why, the All-Joe team itself is a savvy veteran now. And that's where the attention goes in this season's selection process: Toward older players thriving and surviving in a younger man's game.

I remember when we used to have Kent Hull and Phil Hansen making it seemingly every year. Now we have Larry Centers, Buffalo (13) Career leader in catches among RBs. and former Bills Bruce Smith, Wash. (18) Funny, you don't look Joe-ish., DT: John Parrella, Oak. (10) Once an All-Joe, always an All-Joe. ,ILB: Marvcus Patton, K.C. (13) Never misses practice, even after all these years
Kinda weird seeing BRUCE on this list along with Darrell Green. :eek:
