Tedy Bruschi

Tedy Bruschi was the heart of New England’s defense during the dynasty era. He spent his entire 13 year career with the Patriots after being drafted in the 3rd round of the 1996 NFL Draft. Tedy appeared in 189 career games, where he took home 12 interceptions for four touchdowns. He forced 17 fumbles, and recovered 7 himself. Bruschi tallied over 600 career tackles and 30 sacks.

Tom Brady

Not much needs to be said about the GOAT. He is a four time Super Bowl champion, two wime NFL MVP, and holds numerous season and career records. Brady recently tied Peyton Manning for most wins all time at 200, and will certainly surpass that mark this season. Over his career TB12 now has nearly 450 TDs, and just 151 INTs. Brady has led 48 career game winning drives, including nine in the playoffs. He’s a sure bet Hall of Famer in his first year of eligibility.

Bill Belichick

Coach Belichick has lead the New England Patriots for 17 seasons to this point. He’s delivered six AFC Championships and four Lombardi trophies. Bill has gone 196-71 in the regular season, and 22-9 in the playoffs for the Patriots. He is a mastermind, and may be the greatest football coach of all time. If not, he’s a close second.
