3. Logan Mankins

Talk about an unappreciated player! Let’s just say that we fully understand that Super Bowls are championed in Foxborough and Logan Mankins failed to win one across his nine years with New England. However, that was no fault of his own.

The former stud left guard made six Pro Bowls with the Patriots. In each of those seasons, he was named a Second-Team All-Pro.

On top of that, the Fresno State product was as durable as they come, starting at least 15 games seven times with the team. In the simplest of terms, Mankins was one of the best offensive lineman — let alone guard — of his era and was rightfully named to the NFL’s All-Decade Team of the 2000s.

The Patriots would be out of their minds to not give the former 11-year veteran a spot in the Hall of Fame.
