The NFL announced 129 modern-era nominees for the 2023 Pro Football Hall of Fame Class on Tuesday.
Two dozen of the nominees played for the Patriots at one point during their careers.
Several of them were longtime Patriots such as Vince Wilfork, Logan Mankins, Troy Brown, and Tedy Bruschi.
Others, like Chad Johnson and Darelle Revis, played briefly in New England after making their names elsewhere.
