Running back James White - who scored three touchdowns in New England's 34-28 comeback win over Atlanta last Sunday, including the game winner in the first Super Bowl to ever go into overtime - dropped the ceremonial first puck.

Special teams captain Matthew Slater and linemen Nate Solder and Sebastian Vollmer were a few of the notable players who participated.

There was a video package of highlights of the game played on the Jumbotron before they entered.
