Been watching a lot of Patriot's highlights since the PatS won SB 51 (sue me, I miss football and am still on a SB high). And I love seeing some of my favorite players from the early part of the Dynasty. Here are my favorites (top 5).
1) Brady (obviously).
2) Bruschi- just loved the way he played football. A legend who always came up with clutch plays. One of my all time favorite Patriots. He could've played in any era. Just a warrior.
3) Harrison- I loved Rodney. He gave the defense that swagger, and that fear factor. He was definitely an enforcer back there at safety. Bone crunching hits and key interceptions. I believe he's one of a small handful of players in NFL history to be in the 30-30 club (30 ints, 30 sacks).
4) McGinnest- Willie was just a beast in big games. Maybe made even more big plays than Bruschi. All time playoff sack leader. Just an awesome player who was a great leader.
5) Brown- Troy Brown just did everything for those teams. That 2001 season, Wow. During the Dynasty, Receiver, returner, defensive back. Just a great clutch player for the Pats. Pretty much created that Patriot's slot role that Branch, Welker, Edelman and Amendola have all copied.
6) Faulk- Ok I went with 6, couldn't leave Kevin off of the least, another clutch player for the Pats. So many key 3rd down catches/runs and 2 point conversions, great blocker on 3rd downs as well, and the king of the screen pass receptions.
