For all you PFF haters...move along.
For those who care, (3) Patriots rookies make the team along with (1) honorable mention. The (4) mentions are the most of any team in the NFL.
"Jones has played through injury which has seen his production suffer. Still, Jones has been an every-down player from Day 1 for the Patriots.
Hightower has proven to be a versatile player for New England and he’s excelled as a pass rusher. He’s picked up 14 pressures on his 65 rushes, good for a PRP of 17.3 that puts him fourth at the position.
Dennard’s emergence, along with the trade for CB Aqib Talib, has allowed New England’s secondary to play more aggressive man coverages that have helped turn the defense around in the second half of the season. He’s graded at +5.0 in coverage with three interceptions and six passes defensed."
Tavon Wilson received an Honorable Mention at the Safety position.

Not bad for our beloved Patriots
But it gets even better.....The Jest, Bills, and Phins all combine for only (1) All-Rookie selection (Miami, Oliver Vernon, special teams) and (1) Honorable Mention (Jest, Quinton Coples, DE). Our future keeps looking brighter
One more thing....only (3) teams had (3) selections to the All-Rookie team and all 3 made the playoffs ( NE, Seattle, and Minnesota) and teams that had (2) or more selections to the All-Rookie team, (5) out of the (7) of those teams made the playoffs.
