How the Patriots roster evolved with every Super Bowl appearance

February 3, 2019

Once again, it’s Super Bowl time for the New England Patriots.

Since the Super Bowl kicked off in Los Angeles in 1967, no other team has appeared in it more times than the Patriots. If they overcome the Rams in Atlanta, they will equal the Steelers’ record for NFL championships.

Needless to say, Tom Brady has been a regular fixture.

He was there when they defeated the St. Louis Rams in New Orleans for their first Super Bowl victory.

He was there the next year when they claimed their second title, but their victory shared the spotlight with a wardrobe malfunction.

Brady broke a million hearts in Atlanta with a historic win in 2017.

But how has the rest of the team changed?

Take a tour of the Patriots roster for every one of their Super Bowl appearances in the last two decades. You can choose any year you like — or simply see all of them together.
