Pats Pulpit 2017 Patriots midseason awards: The most valuable non-Tom Brady on the roster

The New England Patriots most valuable player is obviously quarterback Tom Brady. That has been the case for the past 15 years and will remain the case for the next 15 years until Brady’s child is able to be assume the mantle of Patriots Franchise Quarterback.

But with Brady not an interesting answer, we polled the staff on which Patriots player other than Brady has been the most valuable. Here’s how they voted.

Rewinski: Brandin Cooks. Think of the shoes this kid stepped into. New England shipped a first-round pick to New Orleans for a one or MAYBE two-year audition to prove he belongs on a Patriots team that historically balks at paying receivers elite money, oh, and BTW, Julian Edelman is out for the year.
