NFL 2018: Ranking 5 Possible MVP Prospects

#2 Tom Brady

Pittsburgh Steelers v New England Patriots

You can’t compile a list of potential MVP candidates without mentioning TB12. Brady has won the MVP award 3 times in his career, as well as 5 Super Bowls and 13 Pro Bowl honors. No matter how many people are hoping the Patriots fail and are calling for their demise, my money is on the Patriots being there or there about when the Super Bowl comes around.

Brady won the MVP award in 2017, after another incredible season. He led the league with 4577 passing yards despite having his favorite WR, Julian Edelman, out for the season. He threw for 32 TDs and just 8 INTS, with a QB rating of 102.8. Despite now being 40 years of age, Brady is showing no signs of slowing up. He led the Patriots to another Super Bowl appearance in 2017 and was only denied another ring by an inspired Eagles team.

The Patriots are by far and away the favorite to win the AFC East for a record 10th time in a row. The Bills, Dolphins and Jets are little threat for Brady and the Pats, and you’d fully expect them to win their 6 divisional match ups. I expect the Patriots to win 12 games again this season, with Tom Brady leading the way.
