1. Julian Edelman

There is only one way to start this list off. You have to start with the great performance from Super Bowl MVP Julian Edelman.

Edelman was an absolute beast. Whenever Tom Brady needed him to make a catch, Edelman was in the perfect spot.

This was Edelman’s best performance in the big game. He was catching the ball all over the field. Edelman had 10 catches for 141 yards.

After missing the first 4 games of the season due to a PED suspension this was a great ending for Edelman’s season. Edelman has always had to face adversity from the start of his football career and he once again hopped over all the hurdles this season.

Julian Edelman proved that he still has some great games ahead of him. With the possibility of Rob Gronkowski retiring at an all-time high, the New England Patriots will need Edelman to continue to rack up catches if they want to make it back to the Super Bowl.
