Players who went down due to injuries that should be back.
Vince Wilfork, yes an Achilles injury can be a long term problem but he is not the type to not do all he can to return.
Tommy Kelly, His knee injury should not be an issue at all. He will also be a season in to exposure to the Pat's program so he will know what is expected.
Jerod Mayo, Had surgery to repair a torn pectoral in October should be fully recovered by April.
Sebastian Vollmer, He needed surgery to repair a broken right leg, which was performed in October. Perhaps this 8 months off will have helped him to heal up from the lingering injuries he has had. I would love to see the Right side of the O-line with Vollmer at RT and Cannon at RG.
T.J. Moe, Yes I really do think that this guy is going to be a very solid WR in the NFL. His Achilles tendon injury Should not be an issue. He is 6'0" 200+ lbs. He is not a high speed guy but is a very quick change of direction guy. Very strong, great hands, Will be a very hard guy to cover. I believe he will be the complement to Edelman that Amendola could not be.
Rob Gronkowski, I do not expect to be back on the field this coming season.
Second year Players that should be much improved:
Aaron Dobson He looks as if he will be a quality player and a much needed deep threat, another season in the program should help him to stay healthy.
Kenbrell Thompkins Came on strong but faded as injuries and pressure of being a rookie thrown into the fire caught up with him. Should be by far a better season for him in 2014.
Jamie Collinscame on strong as his playing time increased in the second half of the season. Really expect he makes Spikes expendable.
This is just a quick look at some of the guys I see as being major role players in the 2014. Much more will be added as the off season unfolds.
