4. Sony Michel

Sony Michel may have had a shorter season due to injury, but he has played some amazing football. When you add in the fact that he is a rookie it is even more impressive.

Michel has really taken over the Patriots running game. This is a big task for a rookie, but Michel hasn’t faltered.

In 9 games this season, Michel has 144 carries for 649 yards and 5 touchdowns. Imagine if Michel is able to reach 1000 yards after missing 4 games? That is nothing to scoff at. If Michel played a whole season he may have reached 1500 yards rushing.

Michel has quickly shown that he was worth the 1st round draft pick. He should be a mainstay in the Patriots offense for years to come.

Sony Michel has had the quite the start to his NFL career. I can’t imagine a better cherry on top than to make the Pro Bowl (well winning a Super Bowl wouldn’t be bad either).
