4 former Patriots players make All-PFF Team for last 25 Years
Four New England Patriots players made the All-Pro Football Focus Team, featuring the best players over the last 25 years.
Quarterback Tom Brady, tight end Rob Gronkowski, offensive guard Logan Mankins and cornerback Darrelle Revis all made the list.
Brady and his accomplishments speak for themselves. The seven-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback is a 15-time Pro Bowler and a six-time All-Pro. He is widely considered one of the greatest players of all time after finishing his career with 251 regular season wins and 35 postseason victories.
Gronkowski is arguably the greatest tight end of all time with four Super Bowl titles to his name. He finished his career with 9,286 receiving yards and 92 touchdowns.
Revis only appeared in one season with the Patriots, and the team managed to end a 10-year Super Bowl drought with him on the roster. He is one of the greatest corners of all time and a current Pro Football Hall of Famer.
Meanwhile, Mankins is a six-time All-Pro and seven-time Pro Bowler, along with being a member of the Patriots' All-Dynasty Team. He was recently a candidate for the Patriots Hall of Fame.
So many great talents contributed to the Patriots' historic dynasty. Each of these players is among the best to ever play the game, and their appearance on this list is proof that the NFL world hasn't forgotten.

Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce Share 'Adorable Giggly' Date Night Before Chiefs Minicamp
Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce Share 'Adorable Giggly' Date Night Before Chiefs Minicamp originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Kansas City Chiefs' Travis Kelce and Grammy winner Taylor Swift have kept their public appearances to a minimum ever since the Super Bowl loss. Waves of negativity came at the couple, and they have since retreated into the darkness and out of the public eye, and it seems to have benefited them well. And now the pair was spotted in Palm Beach, Florida, recently, as they enjoyed a casual date night before the NFL's offseason work properly begins for Travis. But we didn't know anything about what happened once the pair were inside the Buccan now. A woman named Pamela Goodman, a Swift superfan, who sat near the couple, spoke exclusively to Page Six, detailing what she saw from Travis and Swift on their date night. 'They were a giggly couple on a date. They were just adorable!' she said. Goodman also revealed there was a lot of laughing from the couple as they enjoyed their night out, which didn't have much fanfare. Of course, as word spread that the couple was out, fans gathered outside to see them leave the restaurant, but it was nothing like the couple had previously experienced. With Swift not touring in 2025, and Kelce aiming for this to be his final NFL season, it feels like it is going to be a big year for the couple who clearly have some relationship plans coming down the pipeline. Well, that's the thought of many anyway. Exactly what they are, we don't know, but it is clear that after a rough patch, Travis and Taylor are living their best lives.

Eagles Star Addresses Fallout After Outspoken Player's Exit
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. For the second time in a few years, the Philadelphia Eagles have left their former safety CJ Gardner-Johnson disgruntled. The trend continued at the top of the offseason, when the Eagles traded away Gardner-Johnson to the Houston Texans. The deal came as a shock, considering the Eagles had just re-signed the veteran secondary player one offseason ago. When Gardner-Johnson inked his second deal with the Eagles, he did it with intentions of sticking around for multiple seasons. The Eagles found success with Gardner-Johnson in their secondary once again. Both seasons he played for Philadelphia, the Eagles made a run to the Super Bowl to face the Kansas City Chiefs. The first time, the Eagles couldn't come out on top, with their defense infamously struggling against Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City's attack. The second time around, Gardner-Johnson and many Eagles players won their first Super Bowl, getting revenge over Mahomes and the Chiefs. While the defensive line's ability to get to Mahomes was the X-Factor to the win, the secondary did its part and helped the Eagles secure their second Super Bowl win in franchise history. Gardner-Johnson had an opportunity to celebrate for the moment, but it wouldn't be long before he was sent packing. Recently, Eagles safety Reed Blankenship addressed the loss of Gardner-Johnson to a scrum of reporters, wishing Gardner-Johnson well while remaining confident in his squad. C.J. Gardner-Johnson #8 and Reed Blankenship #32 of the Philadelphia Eagles look on against the Dallas Cowboys at Lincoln Financial Field on December 29, 2024 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. C.J. Gardner-Johnson #8 and Reed Blankenship #32 of the Philadelphia Eagles look on against the Dallas Cowboys at Lincoln Financial Field on December 29, 2024 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania."Obviously, you don't know as a player. I don't make those decisions, but he was a great player for us, and I wish him the best in Houston, too," Blakenship told reporters this week, via "But it's the next guys up in the room. I feel like we got the guys in the locker room to fill that position in. It's gonna be tough, but it is what it is. It's a business out there." When Eagles' defensive coordinator Vic Fangio told reporters that the Gardner-Johnson move was a "salary cap-type thing" that he supported, Gardner-Johnson clearly didn't appreciate the messaging. "I was a test dummy for them," the safety wrote on Instagram. "So, now they can be like my 'scheme' work, or did my skill set make it work?" I had zero issues. [People] had issues with me. So, yeah, let the salary cap be the 'excuse.'" As Gardner-Johnson prepares for a fresh start with the Texans, who've become his fourth team, the Eagles seem more than ready to move on. As the young secondary showed plenty of promise beyond Gardner-Johnson, Blankenship and the Eagles are ready to utilize their next-man-up mentality.

Bills' QB Remains Boogeyman For AFC East Rivals
Bills' QB Remains Boogeyman For AFC East Rivals originally appeared on Athlon Sports. First it was Tom Brady. Now, it's Josh Allen. The AFC East as a division has had a "boogeyman" of sorts over the last few decades. And the Buffalo Bills' signal-caller Allen has been the man man in the division for the last five seasons. Advertisement Buffalo is looking for a sixth-straight AFC East title this year. Allen, as the reigning league MVP going into 2025, is a key reason why. How "scary'' is he? Allen is 23-11 against the rest of the division as a starting quarterback. Those may not be Brady-like numbers, but they certainly show how good Allen has been over the last few years in the division. It's also why Brad Gagnon of Bleacher Report highlighted Allen as the "main obstacle facing every NFL starting quarterback in 2025," for the Miami Dolphins specifically. While he acknowledged that health was a major concern for Miami, the Bills and Allen were a big part of it. Advertisement "Kind of obvious, right? But it's got to be that or the Buffalo Bills," Gagnon said. Miami, incredibly, is just 2-15 in their last 17 games against Allen and the Bills. It won't get any easier this season, either. Oh, and note this: It's also not like the rest of the division hasn't struggled against Buffalo. As the Bills prepare for a run at a Super Bowl this season, winning the division is always the first step. And with where Allen stands, it seems like he's in a position to win a sixth-straight division title going into the 2025 season. ... because he's the new bogeyman.
