Edelman named Super Bowl LIII MVP
Julian Edelman is going to Disney World!
The New England Patriots wide receiver was named MVP of Super Bowl LIII after catching 10 passes for 141 yards in the 13-3 win against the Los Angeles Rams.
In a game with very few standout offensive performers, Edelman almost single-handedly kept the Patriots moving with eight first-down grabs.

It was a historic playoff run for the 32-year-old. He moved into second place in the NFL's all-time postseason receiving yards list during the AFC title game, behind only the legendary Jerry Rice.
Edelman missed the 2017 season with a torn ACL and sat out the first four games of this season due to a suspension for performance-enhancing drugs.
