Super Bowl LII - Philadelphia Eagles v New England Patriots
Rob Gronkowski: Super Bowl LII - Philadelphia Eagles v New England Patriots

The Pats and Bill Belichick breathed a huge sigh of relief when Rob Gronkowski informed them that he'll be playing this season. While his health still remains a question, his presence is sure to lift the squad morale. With James Develin, Dwayne Allen and Will Tye as the other notable mentions, the Pats look pretty tight on this front. But boy will they miss the presence of a certain Martellus Bennett!

With Devin McCourty, Duron Harmon and Patrick Chung in the side, it's tough to not call this their strongest position group! With Chung looking very likely to retire soon, finding an able successor is a priority for Bill and his team. But keeping just the 2018 season in mind, this position would most naturally trump all of NFL, barring any significant injury.
