4. Trey Flowers

Trey Flowers could blow up the entire LA Rams offensive schemes. He is that talented of a defensive end.

Flowers is the guy who gets everything started for the front 7. It seems like every play Flowers is in the backfield.

The Patriots defense is kickstarted by Flowers. He is always making a play.

This season Flowers continued to play well. He led the Patriots in sacks and set a career high with 7.5. Flowers is a problem for opposing quarterbacks.

Flowers could help out stopping Todd Gurley as well. If Flowers is able to get in the backfield and blow up a play it will kill the Rams momentum. The Patriots need to stop Gurley before he gets going. If he gets to the 2nd level it is hard to bring the running back down.

So if the New England Patriots want to have a chance in the Super Bowl they need Trey Flowers to constantly be causing pressure.
