i realize the formatting is kinda off... if its an issue, especially for phone users, say the word and I will edit out the excel format, and just cut and paste the list in there
 
Colvin wore 59. He wore 95 in 2008.

Ben Watson wore 84.

Uche also wore 53 for his rookie season.

Dugger wore 35 for his rookie season.

JR Redmond wore 21 who caught some key chain moving passes in the 2001 season.

You really hate Samuel.

Law gets the nod only based on longevity with the Pats, but Gilmore did not have one bad year with the Pats as a full time starter.

Coates was my favorite TE and it's crazy someone was better than him.

Yeah, guys wore multiple jersey numbers ... I basically took the first number they popped up under, for the most part ... Like Nick folk has had multiple numbers but I used 2 because 2 came up first...
 
I should have done more proof reading... I see a few names that are incorrect... Might have to fix that
 
Rick Camarillo at 3 perhaps
Cook TE at 85
Sardisco at 64

I was also looking for 23 Bodden and 59 Katzenmoyer for curiosity

outside looking in for camarillo, though i can see the argument...

Julius Adams & Nick Buoniconti are much better players... marv cook doesnt belong in that particular grouping... its kinda like why i left brady solo at 12, Mayo at 51... was going to delete billy neighbors etc at 73 but forgot to
 
deion branch wore 83 his first time around, its a shame scam newton was on this team
its my opinion that WW was the best receiver we've ever had in New England... deliberately left him solo... Branch deserved a nod though, so i cheated and used 84 for him
 
And Edelman > Bledsoe....and I loved Bledsoe....
 
And Edelman > Bledsoe....and I loved Bledsoe....
I can't really argue the point except to say I love them both... I would classify them a 1A & 1B in no particular order except alphabetical... I should remove Eason from the third spot
 
Why would cam Newton be on the list? He is one of the worst players in the history of the team.
 
@Pape great list.

Some more may come from but have you considered my man Clayton Weishuhn (#53)?

I can't comment on Tommy Addison as he was before my time but Clayton might be in the ballpark with Slade and was def a better player than Izzo (who was also solid)
 
Why would cam Newton be on the list? He is one of the worst players in the history of the team.
good question... For one very simple reason... While I think he wasn't good (I think his arm/shoulder never healed properly) I liked him, and felt he did everything he could, left it all on the field... I respect him for that, thats why...
