Throwback Thursday: All-Time NFC North Team

The NFC North has been an NFL division since realignment in 2002. Here's one look at the best players to play each position in the short history of this thrilling division.

Quarterback
Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers

Running backs
Adrian Peterson, Minnesota Vikings
Matt Forte, Chicago Bears

Fullback
John Kuhn, Green Bay Packers

Receivers
Calvin Johnson, Detroit Lions
Randy Moss, Minnesota Vikings

Moss only played in the NFC North for three seasons (2010 doesn't count). That's enough for me. His was that great.

Tackles
Chad Clifton, Green Bay Packers
Bryant McKinnie, Minnesota Vikings

This isn't a strong position. McKinnie had all of the talent to be a dominant tackle. One of the best. But he never seemed to care enough about the game. At least he made a lot of money.

Guards
Steve Hutchinson, Minnesota Vikings
Kyle Long, Chicago Bears

Center
Matt Birk, Minnesota Vikings

Defensive ends 
Jared Allen, Minnesota Vikings
Julius Peppers, Chicago Bears

Defensive tackles
Ndamukong Suh, Detroit Lions
Kevin Willaims, Minnesota Vikings

Linebackers
Clay Matthews, Green Bay Packers
Brian Urlacher, Chicago Bears
Lance Briggs, Chicago Bears

Cornerbacks
Charles Woodson, Green Bay Packers
Antoine Winfield, Minnesota Vikings

Safeties
Harrison Smith, Minnesota Vikings
Nick Collins, Green Bay Packers

Kicker
Jason Hanson, Detroit Lions

Punter
Nick Harris, Detroit Lions

Returner
Devin Hester, Chicago Bears
