9. Trey Flowers
The defensive players on the New England Patriots rarely get the acknowledgment that they deserve, as most of the attention goes to Tom Brady’s offense.
Yet it is the defense that could carry this team to the Super Bowl this year, rather than the offense, and Trey Flowers is a big part of that unit’s success.
Flowers has 6.5 sacks, eight tackles for a loss and 19 quarterback hits on the season, while making 51 combined tackles.
