6 Best names on Patriots’ roster
Here are the six best names currently listed on the New England Patriots’ roster.
6. Bryan Stork
This is a perfect example of a player’s name characterizing his position. Stork rhymes with “pork”, so it puts the image of meat in your head. You want your offensive line to have meat, after all. Since Stork is a center, he is the focal point of that meat.
Stork spent the beginning of the 2015 season on the PUP list. Upon his return, Stork immediately had to fight with undrafted rookie David Andrews for starting reps at center. Andrews was one of the big personnel surprises of 2015, climbing up from undrafted anonymity to looking like a seasoned veteran in a matter of months.
As a rookie, Stork bolstered what was a struggling offensive line at the beginning of 2014 when he was moved to center. One year after winning a national championship with Florida State, Stork donned a Super Bowl ring on his finger.
After losing to the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship Game, Stork gave a post-game interview that surely made Bill Belichick proud:
