There are plenty of familiar names one will stumble across when preparing for the New England Patriots. Quarterback Tom Brady and tight end Rob Gronkowski are both heading to Canton when their careers are over and wide receiver Julian Edelman has been a staple of this offense for a majority of the past decade.
Although the cliché is that Father Time catches up with everyone, it bears some truth. As this trio of weapons has gotten older, the Patriots have had to slightly adapt to get more out of their offense and nobody adapts better than New England head coach Bill Belichick.
