Logan Lee Mankins (born March 10, 1982) is an American former professional
Despite his stature as one of the best offensive lineman throughout the Patriots dynasty, his tenure with the Patriots (2005–2013) coincided between the exact drought between the Patriots first three Super Bowl wins (2001, 2003, 2004) and their last three wins (2014, 2016, 2018). Mankins appeared in two Super Bowls (2007 and 2011), but lost twice.[1]

2005–06
Mankins was drafted with the final pick of the first round, 32nd overall, in the
In 2006, Mankins again started all 16 games for the Patriots. He scored his first NFL touchdown in the AFC Championship Game against the Indianapolis Colts when he recovered a Laurence Maroney fumble in the end zone. (Later in that same game, Colts center Jeff Saturday also recovered a fumble for a touchdown, making that game the first playoff game in NFL history in which two offensive linemen scored touchdowns).
2007–09
2007 saw Mankins start all 16 games, allowing only one sack. Due to his performance, Mankins was named as a starting guard in the 2008 Pro Bowl and a second-team All-Pro selection.
For the fourth straight season, Mankins started all 16 games at left guard for the Patriots in 2008. After the loss of starting quarterback Tom Brady, Mankins helped the team's running backs to compile a total of 2,278 yards, a team's best since 1985.
Mankins was named to the Patriots' 50th anniversary team in August 2009. He continued with his streak of consecutive starts, playing in every game for the Patriots again and protecting Brady to just 16 sacks (a career best). At the end of the 2009 season, Mankins was selected as a starter to his second Pro Bowl and became just the second guard, after John Hannah, in Patriots history to do so.

Following the 2009 season, Mankins became a
He did not attend the Patriots' mandatory June minicamp, which he was not required to attend as he was not under contract at the time. Mankins remained unsigned through the team's training camp, preseason, and the start of the regular season. Mankins reported to the Patriots and signed his tender on November 2, in advance of the team's Week 9 game against the Cleveland Browns.[6] He did not have to report until Week 12 in order to be on the roster for the necessary six games to earn his sixth accrued season of free agency credit. The NFL granted the Patriots a two-game roster exemption for Mankins upon his reporting.[7] However, the Patriots activated Mankins on November 6, before using either game of the exemption.
Mankins started the final nine games of the season for the Patriots. For the second straight season, Mankins was elected as a starter to the Pro Bowl.
2011–2013
On February 14, 2011, the Patriots assigned Mankins the franchise tag.[8]

On July 26, 2011, it was announced that Mankins would sign his franchise tender, worth just over $10 million, for the 2011-2012 season, and report to Patriots training camp on time.[10] He reported on July 27.
On August 10, 2011, Mankins signed a 6-year deal,[11] which at the time made him the highest paid guard in the league.[12]
During the first Patriots game of the 2011 season, Mankins tore the

Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Mankins was traded to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on August 26, 2014, for tight end Tim Wright and a fourth round draft pick in the 2015 NFL draft after refusing to take a pay cut.
2014
The trade was a move by both the new head coach Lovie Smith and new general manager Jason Licht to fill the void left by Pro Bowl guard Davin Joseph, who was released along with all other members of the offensive line from 2013 season.
2015
After anchoring an offensive line that produced the fifth-best offense that season, Mankins was voted as a Pro Bowl alternate, his seventh appearance in the game. Shortly after the season, Mankins retired on March 7, 2016.[17]
Personal life
Mankins' son, Case, was a high school football player at Bishop Feehan High School.[18] He now is a defensive lineman with University of Rhode Island's football team. Mankins' daughter Kaylee also played softball at Bentley University.
