OT Bruce Armstrong
Armstrong made six Pro Bowl appearances. Only Hall of Fame offensive guard John Hannah made more appearances as a Patriot with nine.

OT Leon Gray
Gray (left) was selected to the Pro Bowl in 1976 and 1978. His blocking technique helped to protect quarterback Steve Grogan particularly well in 1977. Grogan was sacked just 14 times that season.

G John Hannah, G Sam Adams, C Jon Morris
Hannah's nine Pro Bowls earned him entry into the Hall of Fame. The versatile Adams spent nine years with the Patriots, while Morris, selected by the Patriots in the fourth round of the 1964 AFL Draft out of Holy Cross, anchored an offensive line that opened holes for Jim Nance.


TE Ben Coates
Coates, who played nine seasons with the Patriots, was one of the most productive pass-catching tight ends in NFL history with 499 career receptions and 50 touchdowns.

WR Stanley Morgan
A four-time Pro Bowl receiver, Stanley Morgan played 13 seasons with New England and amassed 534 receptions, 10,352 yards, and 67 touchdowns.

WR Troy Brown
Brown played each of 15 of his NFL seasons with the Patriots and is the team's all-time leading receiver with 557 career receptions.

QB Tom Brady
Drafted 199th overall in the 2000 NFL Draft, Brady has led the Patriots to three Super Bowl titles. His 50 touchdown passes in 2007 is an all-time NFL record.

RB Jim Nance
Nance played for the Patriots from 1965 to 1971, setting a franchise record with 45 rushing touchdowns.

RB Sam Cunningham
Cunningham surpassed Jim Nance as the team's all-time rushing leader in 1980 with 5,453 yards.

DE Willie McGinest
Drafted by the Patriots with the fourth overall pick in 1994, the two-time Pro Bowl defensive end ranks third on the Patriots' all-time sacks list with 78.

DE Richard Seymour
Seymour was drafted sixth overall by the Patriots in 2001 and has been a part of six division championships, four conference titles and three Super Bowl crowns.


DT Houston Antwine
Antwine earned six consecutive AFL All-Star selections (from 1963-68) in his 11 seasons with the Patriots.


DT Vince Wilfork
Selected as a captain in 2008, the Patriots own a 60-17 (.779) record in Wilfork's 77 career regular-season games since 2004.

OLB Andre Tippett
Tippett played 11 seasons for the Patriots and is the second player to earn induction to the Hall of Fame after spending his entire career with the franchise.

OLB Mike Vrabel
Vrabel had perhaps his best season in 2007, recording 12.5 sacks and earning a trip to the Pro Bowl. He was traded to the Chiefs this past offseason.


ILB Steve Nelson
Nelson is one of only seven players to have his jersey retired by the team. He finished his career with 1,776 tackles, an average of 10.2 per game.


ILB Nick Buoniconti
Buoniconti played for the Patriots from 1962 to 1968 and was voted to the AFL All-Star game five times.

CB Mike Haynes
Named to six Pro Bowls, Haynes had 28 career interceptions with the Patriots.

CB Ty Law
Law ranks second on the Patriots' all-time interceptions list with 35, one behind Raymond Clayborn's franchise-record 36 interceptions.

S Fred Marion
Marion played his entire NFL career for the Patriots. He was selected to the Pro Bowl in 1985 when he intercepted seven passes.

S Rodney Harrison
Harrison is the league's all-time leader in sacks by a defensive back, having recorded 30.5 sacks in his 14 seasons.

K Adam Vinatieri
The most accurate kicker in Patriots history and also the most clutch, Vinatieri recorded two game-winning kicks in Super Bowls for New England.


P Rich Camarillo
Not much more you can ask for from a punter -- Camarillo has the team record for career punts (498), punt yardage (19,922) and average (40.2).


SPT Mosi Tatupu
Tatupu played for the Patriots from 1978 to 1990 and made the Pro Bowl in 1986.

WR/K Gino Cappelletti
Mike Reiss's choice for best captain, Cappelletti was one of the original members of the team, spending his entire 11-year career with the Patriots. In 1964, Cappelletti led the league in field goals and caught 49 passes for 865 yards and 7 touchdowns. He currently broadcasts the team's games on the radio.


Head coach Bill Belichick
The only coach in NFL history to win three Super Bowls in a four-year span, Belichick is 116-45 with the Patriots.

I did not see Cunningham or Nance but C. Martin had to be the best RB in Pats history. Even though it was only three yrs.

Some possible quibbles: Lawyer Milloy, Curtis Martin, Matt Light, Logan Mankins, Irving Fryer, Larry Eisenhauer, Jim Lee Hunt

Not sure about all of them, but at least a couple would deserve to make the team ahead of the ones picked here

I remember seeing the hard hitting Tim Fox play at the old and decrepit Schafer Stadium in Foxboro.

He used to wear those big free safety pads and knew how to use them...
