Logan Mankins was drafted by the [[New England Patriots]] in the first round of the [[2005 NFL Draft]]. In his rookie season he started all 16 of the regular season games at guard. The last time a Patriots rookie started all 16 games of a season at guard was in 1973 when Hall of Famer [[John Hannah]] did it. In week six of the NFL regular season in a game vs the [[Denver Broncos]] he was ejected for a punching a Broncos player on the final play of the first half..... In 2006 Mankins once again started all 16 games for the Patriots. Thought by many to be worthy of a Pro Bowl spot some awards and honors he received in 2006 include being chosen to the Dr. Z's Sports Illustrated.com All-Pro and the [[USA Today's All-Joe Team]]. | Logan Mankins was drafted by the [[New England Patriots]] in the first round of the [[2005 NFL Draft]].
