There are quite a few former Patriot players there... some here for a while, some for a cup of coffee... Wilfork is the only first time nominee, all the other guys have been nominated before... Stats will hurt Big Vince, but he really is HoF worthy...
There are no real strong locks in this list... Hope its enough to push a few guys like Seymour and Harrison over the top...
