While not a "starter", the role of the nickel was equally as important to the success of the team as the two starting outside corners. The Patriots had a very good nickel defender the last 3-4 years in Kyle Arrington, whose high cap number made him a cap casualty for the off-season and later sign with the Baltimore Ravens.
