By Sam Minton
1. Michael Bennett
One of the first moves that the New England Patriots made will probably go down as their best. The acquisition of Michael Bennett dampened the impact of losing Trey Flowers.

Bennett is a beast on the line. He is ferocious and always seems to find a way to get to the quarterback. He is exactly what the Patriots needed.
Now Bennett is a grizzled veteran. The Patriots are the 4th team in his 11-year career. Still Bennett can put up some big numbers.
Last season Bennett racked up 9 sacks and 30 QB hits. He would’ve led the Patriots in sacks by a country mile. Even at 33-years-old he is still one of the best pass rushers in the NFL.
I think Bennett will continue to do well with the Patriots and lead the team in sacks. Once upon a time he was a rival, but now Bennett may help New England win it’s 7th Super Bowl championship.
