Football Outsiders released their top players from 2010 today and wouldn’t you know there’s quite a few Patriots making an appearance:
- Tom Brady: #1 QB
- Benjarvus Green-Ellis: #4 overall RB
- Danny Woodhead: #5 overall RB, #5 receiving RB
- Rob Gronkowski: #2 TE
- Aaron Hernandez: #4 TE
- Deion Branch #11 WR
- Wes Welker #19 WR
Other Patriots notes:
- Woodhead didn’t have enough carries to qualify for the main rushing-only RB rankings, but his score would’ve had him as the 8th best RB in the NFL. He only missed out on this by three carries. His #5 overall RB ranking is aided by his receptions.
- Law Firm was the 3rd best rushing-only RB.
- Tate #14 WR for WRs with under 50 passes thrown at them, he had 46. He was #8 in WR rushing.
Notes out our enemies:
- Mark Sanchez #20 QB

- Santonio Holmes #31 WR
- Braylon Edwards #34 WR
- Reggie Wayne #24 WR
- Joe Flacco #11 QB
