New England Patriots
Wes Welker was always seen as undersized and scrappy, but when it came to Tom Brady's weapons in his Super Bowl wins, no one was as clutch as Welker. He was only around for six seasons in New England, but when he was there, he was as dangerous a weapon as they had. After three years as a special teams wizard with 5,000 yards on 300 kick and punt returns, he moved into a slot receiver role and dominated. Welker led the NFL in receiving in 2007, 2009, and 2011 and was second in 2008 and 2012. I...

On almost any team, Drew Bledsoe would be considered a Hall of Fame player. However, Bledsoe had the bad luck of losing his job because of an injury.

He led the Patriots to the playoffs four times in the seasons he was a starter. He also took them to the Super Bowl in 1996, where they lost to the Green Bay P...

If we look at his regular season numbers, Julian Edelman was an average wide receiver, with three seasons of over 1,000 receiving yards, but never more than 1,200. In the playoffs, though, it was a different story, as Edelman was inspired and had impressive performances. As a matter of fact, Edelman recorded 1,442 receiving yards in the NFL playoffs, the second most all-time, trailing only Jerry Rice(2,245). "Squirrel" was a game-changing factor in each of the three championship rings he earn...

New England Patriots
Adam Vinatieri was undoubtedly one of the best kickers in NFL history, not just from a statistical standpoint, but because of all the memorable kicks he made in his career. The New England Patriots knew that any field goal or extra point was guaranteed because of Vinatieri's accuracy, and that was pivotal in three championships.
