5. Martellus Bennett

Over the weekend, our very own David Smith detailed how Bennett is already fitting in with the Patriots as evidenced by early highlights in Patriots OTAs. You can bet that Tom Brady is more than ecstatic to have Bennett at his disposal in addition to the best tight end in football.

4. Rob Gronkowski

The best tight end in football.

3. Danny Amendola

The hardest worker on the Patriots, Amendola also displayed his commitment and loyalty to the team by taking a $4.4 million pay cut to stay in New England.

2. Julian Edelman

Edelman works for the Patriots, and the Patriots work for Edelman. Brady loves him, and he loves Brady.

1. Matthew Slater

A Patriot if there ever was one, Slater will have every opportunity to finish his career in New England chasing down punt returners.
