When five (potentially six) Super Bowl rings are gathered by one specific football organization, several secret weapons coexist under the same roof and on the same field. Due to this New England Patriots dominance over the last 17 seasons, some of those secret weapons have naturally become exposed over time.

Meet Dante Scarnecchia, one such Pats secret weapon who's taking the Bill Belichick gospel that is never revealing information, via Ryan Hannable of WEEI.

“I am not talking about next year. I think the most important thing is Sunday night,” Scarnecchia said, via WEEI.com. “It’s been great. We had a good year last year and we had a good year this year. We have one big game left so we’ll just see how it all goes.”

Scarnecchia, 69, just might be Tom Brady's favorite person in the entire organization. As the offensive line coach, he's been credited by many as one of the greatest offensive line minds of all-time and does a terrific job in making sure, despite the level of talent, his line ranks among the top choices in the league.

Scarnecchia enjoyed a long stint with the Pats dating all the back pre-Bill Parcells in 1991 and lasting until 2013. After sitting out two seasons, he returned stronger than ever in 2016, attempting to be a part of a second-consecutive title.

The wise coach has been a staple of the Bill-and-Bill teams for nearly three decades, but with Josh McDaniels rumored to bolt to Indianapolis for the Colts job and Matt Patricia already accepting the Detroit Lions boss gig, Belichick will have a ton to sort out after Super Bowl 52.

Should Scarnecchia retire, offensive line assistant Cole Popovich is the likely candidate to hold down the fort and ensure Tom Terrific can still step into his throws (as he loves to do) with tough, fantastic interior line play.
