excellent article-

lines that stood out to me about the pats:
Unselfish players are part of the profile developed by Belichick and Pioli, who are given total personnel freedom by owner Robert Kraft -- another key to a winning franchise. (See Jerry Jones in Dallas and Daniel Snyder in Washington for the other side.)
Every year, New England scouts approximately 4,000 college players. But the "A" list is down to around 100 on draft day, with players judged on leadership, selflessness and the ability to fit the team's unusual schemes as much as on athletic ability.
seems this front office here is enamored with athleticism over "players" imo.
