15. Edelman catches 60+ yard touchdown

Unlike this time last year when he was still recovering from a torn ACL, Julian Edelman will be participating in the Super Bowl for the Patriots with the hope of making an impact on offense to give the team a better chance of taking down the Rams.

When healthy, Edelman has proven to be one of the toughest receivers in the NFL to defend, and watching him continue to be a reliable target for Tom Brady certainly makes the quarterback’s job much easier to deal with.

One of the reasons why Edelman can be so difficult to cover is all the times in which Brady will just quickly dump off the short pass, and let the wideout take care of the rest since he can turn these catches into big gains.

Predicting a long touchdown for someone like Edelman from 60+ yards may sound like a long shot for the Patriots receiver when considering his longest catch on the season is 36 yards, but with a Super Bowl on the line, this would be the perfect time to top that.

Then again, as long as Edelman does his part by helping New England move the football down the field, this is what really matters the most for the AFC champions.
