5. Geneo Grissom

The double “G” and different pronunciations of those “G” sounds gives Grissom’s name an appearance on this list. Plus, Geneo is a cool first name in its own right.

Grissom logged six tackles and a sack on his stat sheet as a rookie. The sack came in Week 17 against the Miami Dolphins and it put an end to a threatening drive.

Grissom offers great versatility for the Patriots, as Bill Belchick detailed in November:

"Geneo has shown versatility in terms of playing end, tackle, and also on the punt team, kickoff team, a little bit on the punt return, kickoff return. So he’s given us some snaps in the kicking game as well as on defense, and defensively inside as well as outside. The volume for Geneo is high there. There are a lot of things for him to try to get down and refine and work on, but he’s a very diligent and hard-working kid, he tries to do that. His versatility is kind of a plus, but it’s also a lot for a young guy to work on all those things and be able to get as good as he needs to be at them as quickly as we need him. He’s definitely trying and he’s definitely making progress, so that’s good.”"

Expect to see Grissom increase his sack total as a sophomore pro.
