The New England Patriots were a powerhouse for 20 years, beginning with the 2001-2002 season, when their first Lombardi trophy made its way to Foxborough. And with that, they had many legendary players over the years who not only cemented themselves in Patriots history, but also NFL history.
The MMQB released their All-Quarter Century Team from 2000 through 2025, with numerous players from New England’s dynasty making the list. It was voted on by MMQB’s Albert Breer, Conor Orr, Gilberto Manzano, Matt Verderame, John Pluym, and Mitch Goldich.
As expected, quarterback Tom Brady was named to the first-team, with Patrick Mahomes on second-team and Payton Manning on third-team.
