February 10th, 2022 marks Ty Law’s 48th birthday so it’s a great time to look at the top 5 New England Patriots players of all time with him highlighting the list.
The most successful, hated, dominant, and prominent franchise in NFL history, the New England Patriots strive to win. With six Super Bowl titles, there is only one other organization tied with that feat. The New England Patriots play in the AFC East with the New York Jets, Buffalo Bills, and Miami Dolphins.
The Patriot franchise is built off the concept of winning, they have formed the longest-lasting legacy of greatness the NFL has ever seen, and are always contenders. With names like Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, and Rob Gronkowski, this franchise shifted from irrelevancy in the 20th century to among the most popular franchises in sports after a 21st-century revival.
The Patriots have lost five total Super Bowl appearances, and 22 playoff games in franchise history. There are many franchises that haven’t even been near to competing in these types of games. The Patriots’ relentless style of winning and succeeding put them the best franchise of all time. Honorable mention includes: DL Richard Seymour, WR Wes Welker, WR Julian Edelman, DB Devin McCourty, & OL Bruce Armstrong. All Patriots fans are probably hoping Mac Jones can one day crack this list as well.
