New England Patriots — Quarterback Tom Brady

Did you think it would be anyone else?

As long as quarterback Tom Brady is under center for the Patriots, New England will remain a Super Bowl contender. It’s that simple.

We can debate all day long whether or not he’s the best quarterback of all time, but that doesn’t matter here. He’s already the face of the NFL right now, and there’s no reason to assume the 39-year-old future Hall of Famer will slow down anytime soon.

The Patriots remain a favorite to get back to the Super Bowl again this season, and it’s going to be fun to watch Brady and Co. engineer yet another season in this franchise’s dominance.

Enjoy it while it lasts.
