Lawrence Guy has turned into a model of consistency for the Patriots defense

In the early portions of their dynasty, the New England Patriots had some considerable star power along their defensive line: Richard Seymour, Ty Warren and Vince Wilfork were all drafted by the team in the first round (in 2001, 2003 and 2004, respectively) and combined to earn seven Super Bowl rings as well as 10 All-Pro and 12 Pro Bowl nominations. Together, they served as the anchors on some of the best teams in NFL let alone franchise history.

Since Wilfork departed as the last member of the group following the 2014 season, however, the Patriots have had no true star players to man the interior of their D-line.
