Pats 24-23.Multiple former Patriots among the preliminary Pro Football Hall of Fame nominees The New England Patriots are clearly the most successful team of the NFL’s salary cap era, and as such produced numerous superstar players over the years. Some of them are now up for potential Pro Football Hall of Fame nomination Womens Stephon Gilmore Jersey , as was announced yesterday: of the 102 men to enter the first round of the selection process, 13 have once been on the Patriots’ payroll:While most of the 13 men would not get inducted into the Hall of Fame because of their contributions to the Patriots, up to six of them would – four of which were drafted by New England and spent the majority of their careers in town.Richard Seymour, Tedy Bruschi, Willie McGinest and Ty Law were cornerstones of the Patriots’ early 2000s dynasty and were integral in helping the franchise earn its first three Super Bowl wins.
