Julian Edelman Uses Taylor Swift Reference In Response To NFL Top 100 Ranking
Share this: New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman recently was ranked No. 71 on NFL Network’s NFL Top 100 ranking of the best players in football.

Tom Brady Doesn’t Make Top 15 In ESPN’s Ranking Of Super Bowl MVP Performances
Tom Brady has had some memorable Super Bowl performances, but where does he rank among his fellow MVPs? Well, ESPN took a crack at that very question when it ranked all 49 Super Bowl MVPs based on their performances on football’s biggest stage.
