The New England Patriots had four players named to the 2018 Pro Bowl roster for their high level of play thus far in 2017.
Quarterback Tom Brady and tight end Rob Gronkowski earned the nod by virtue of being the best players at their respective positions in the NFL. They are annual staples at the Pro Bowl.
Fullback James Develin received his first Pro Bowl selection as the lead blocker for Dion Lewis and Rex Burkhead. There isn’t a better fullback in the NFL.
Special teamer Matthew Slater received another Pro Bowl nod, although it seems like a result of his reputation since injuries have prevented him from playing as much as his peers this season.
