Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2023 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 that are not reflected in a stat sheet.
Last year, the Patriots were awful and did not come close to making the playoffs. The rebuilding squad did not give us any new entrants or elevations, but we always acknowledge that we kept the last season in mind.
As always, we present our top five, which (obviously) saw no changes:
1. Tom Brady
2. John Hannah
3. Rob Gronkowski
4. Andre Tippett
5. Mike Haynes
You can find the entire list here.
We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

The Patriots were not a playoff team in 2022, and no players had an elevation based on the season. Saying that, we always recognize that the past year was counted in the overall rank.
As always, we present our top five, which (obviously) did not change.

It is worth noting that 10-time Pro Bowl Special Teams player, Matthew Slater, was unable to advance from his rank of #23.
