The New England Patriots might be the most attractive team in football

It's no secret that New England Patriots head coach/Sith Lord Bill Belichick is pretty picky about who plays on his team. Over the past few years, players have been released from the Patriots for a variety of reasons, ranging from immaturity and tardiness to making fun of Tom Brady's hair or being a suspect in a homicide (though we don't really blame them for that last one).

However, there is one secret to staying on the Patriots that isn't publicized quite as much: if you want to play for this team, you need to be really, really, really, ridiculously good-looking.

Listen, we're not trying to discredit the players wearing colors other than red, white, silver and navy blue -- all we're saying is that the field within Gillette Stadium seems to be a popular hangout for extremely handsome men.

Let us present the evidence, starting with (of course) the quarterbacks:

So do we, Gronk. So do we.

There you have it, ladies and gents. If you're seeking a stud in a football uniform look no further than Foxboro, Massachusetts -- that is, unless you're not into guys who wear jewelry.
