While the Patriots' roster building approach is certainly unique, this stat really stands out.
Since 2016, the Patriots roster and staff have included at least five sets of siblings, including several sets of twins, including the possible reunion of Martellus and Michael Bennett on the Patriots' roster.
Brothers tight end Rob Gronkowski and fullback Glenn Gronkowski were teammates during Glenn's off and on stint with the Pats from 2016-2017.
Martellus Bennett played for the Patriots at tight end in 2016 and 2017, and the Patriots just traded for his brother Michael. It is rumored, but still up in the air, if a Bennett brothers reunion is in the works in Foxborough.
Twins Devin and Jason McCourty, a safety and cornerback respectively, were united on the Patriots in 2018, when the former Browns and Titans corner Jason joined his brother and tenured Patriots safety Devin in the New England secondary.
Patriots tight end Jacob Hollister is joined by his twin brother, wide receiver Cody Hollister.
On the Patriots coaching staff, coach Bill Belichick is keeping it in the family with his sons Steve and Brian Belichick serving as safeties coach and as a "coaching assistant" respectively.

While it's tough to examine why or how the Patriots have had such a track record, it is nonetheless remarkable given the Bennett brothers situation, as the Patriots look to build their 2019 team.
