Very nice article about Kevin. It's role players like him that make the difference when talent seems otherwise equal.

Other teams might have a rookie backup or third down guy, while we have a clutch veteran who improves his game every year.

I think the guy has surpassed Dave Meggett in turns of his value and all-purpose role. and I think he has many years left because he knows how to play the game.

He has huge value in the passing game and his draws are very impressive. Had the Pats had him the entire Colts game last year we'd be talking another SB.

Patriot fans know how valuable Kevin is to the team. Glad to see him get some well-deserved props nationally.

This season I can't think of a close game that Faulk didn't win for us. For a couple years I've been referring to him as The Glue.

Faulk is certainly a much valued player...

He is indeed valuable, not just in the many roles he plays, but in his value to the OC and Brady. In addition to his physical skills, no one besides Brady knows the offense as well. No mental lapses for Kevin -- with or without the ball.

He left Meggett in the dust seemingly eons ago. I can't count the number of times KF has come through on a must-have-oh-dear-God-I'll-die-if-they-don't-convert third down.
