Well, Walter Jones from Seattle won it, but our boys get a nice mention:
Second runner-up: Stephen Neal, New England. The Patriots have so many Non-QB Non-RB MVP types it's hard to know where to begin. Willie McGinest, for example. Six years ago when I watched McGinest I thought, "This guy's a showboat." Now when I watch McGinest I think, "This guy belongs in Hawaii." (Hmmm, what changed at New England six years ago -- oh yes, Bill Belichick clocked in.) Tedy Bruschi is the Flying Elvii's emotional MVP. Matt Kaczur, the 12th offensive lineman taken in the 2005 draft (picked 100th overall), has played better than many of the NFL's megabucks left tackles, and kept the Patriots offensive line from collapsing when veteran tackle Matt Light went down injured. Russ Hochstein, a guard who had never played center in the pros or college, kept the Patriots offensive line from collapsing when veteran center Dan Koppen went down injured. But Neal has been a blocking machine this season. Neal earns extra gold stars because he did not play football in college.
