3. Sony Michel
Sony Michel has had an amazing postseason so far. The rookie has been running the ball down opposing team’s throats. Michel has been running guys over and has looked more like a seasoned veteran than a rookie.
In Michel’s first postseason he has 53 carries for 242 yards and 5 touchdowns. Averaging 121 yards a game is rather impressive. If he does that in the Super Bowl New England Patriots fans will be very happy.
It will be interesting to see how Michel does in the Super Bowl. He could solidify his status as the Patriots premier back if he has another great performance, but one bad fumble could turn all of New England against him.
But I think Michel will have a great game. The New England Patriots offensive line has been playing great and opening up some big holes for Michel. If he has another 100-yard game he may even be MVP.

A big game on the national stage would continue to prove that Sony Michel was worth the 1st round pick.
