New England Patriots: All-time underrated, overrated players – NFL.com

Good list, featuring one of the most unsung heroes of the dynasty:

Roman Phifer – LB, 2001-04 When the veteran Phifer was signed in the summer of 2001, Bill Belichick told him he’d be a role player. The two later joked that role turned out to be pretty much everything. At 33 years old, Phifer participated in virtually every snap for the Super Bowl champs, and he stuck around long enough to be part of two more championship teams.

This could be the first time Roman Phifer has popped up here on the blog. That’s kind of sad. Sorry Roman, you deserve better from me.

Boston Sports By The Numbers: No. 95 – Roman Phifer

After being dumped by the Jets before the 2001 season, Phifer signed a contract with the Patriots for the veteran minimum. Starting every game that season, he recorded 93 tackles as an overlooked leader on the Pats defense, and helped defeat the Rams, the team that drafted him, in Super Bowl XXXVI.

Phifer stuck around for three more years, which yielded two more Super Bowl victories, two seasons of more than 100 tackles, and two selections as a Pro Bowl alternate. Struggling with injuries, however, the Patriots let his contract expire after 2004. He now coaches linebackers for the Broncos.
