Led by rookie quarterback Mac Jones, the New England Patriots had what most would consider a successful season, making it to the Wild Card round of the NFL playoffs after a 10-win season. But, how was each player graded by PFF?
Pro Football Focus grades players weekly by their performance, which then adds up to an accumulative seasonal grade. For context on what a good grade is, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow led all quarterbacks in PFF grade this season, with a grade of 92.2.
This list accounts for every player that took at least one snap for New England. For every player that is eligible for a position ranking by having enough snaps, their ranking among their position is listed.
