Yes, we know that this is taking a while! As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity.  As such, we are very happy to present our post-2021 revision of our top 50 New England Patriots. As for all of our top 50 players in football we look at the following:  1.  Advanced Statistics. 2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Football League.  3.  Playoff accomplishments. 4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet. Last year, the New England Patriots went to the playoffs as a Wild Card Team in their post-Brady era, but still seem to be a team that is looking to find a new identity.  There were no new entrants, but three elevations based on last year. As always, we present our top five: 1. Tom Brady 2. John Hannah 3. Rob Gronkowski 4. Andre Tippett 5. Mike Haynes You can find the entire list here. Three-time Super Bowl winner, Special Teams superstar and now ten-time Pro Bowl recipient, Matthew Slater, moves up to #23 from #28. Cornerback, Devin McCourty, who also is a three-time Super Bowl Champion, climbed to #39 from #30. Don’t’a Hightower, who is now a Free Agent, elevated to #31 from #34.  The Linebacker also won three Super Bowls. We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.
