The New England Patriots don’t have many players, if any, that do something better than the rest of the NFL.
Actually, there might be only one exception to that.
ESPN’s Matt Bowen laid out 101 traits and selected the best player that possesses each specific skill. The Patriots only had one player make Bowen’s list. He viewed third-year defensive tackle Christian Barmore as the league’s best pass-lane swatter.
“Barmore’s ability to play with effort through the down and create an interior push puts him in a position to get his hands up on the throw,” Bowen wrote.
