5. Stephon Gilmore

Just like Trey Flowers, Stephon Gilmore is one of the best players on the Patriots defense. Gilmore has been a lockdown corner this season.

The cornerback has proven that he was worth the risk that the Patriots took. He has gone up against opposing teams top receivers and hasn’t struggled.

Gilmore has 2 interceptions a fumble recovery and 37 tackles this season. Also like Flowers, this doesn’t tell the whole story.

“Gilly” can have opposing quarterbacks afraid to throw at him. He can take guys out of games. That doesn’t show up in the stats.

I think Gilmore deserves the honor. He has had one of his best seasons. This would be his 2nd Pro Bowl of his career.

Next. JC Jackson a diamond in the rough. dark

All of these 5 players have been great for the New England Patriots. Hopefully, they all make it to the Pro Bowl and are unable to play because the Patriots will be in their 3rd straight Super Bowl.
