Tom Brady Named League's Best Player in NFL Network's Top 100 List

The recipient of masters degrees in manufacturing management and economics from the HEC School of Management and London School of Economics, respectively, experienced plant manager Philip Calhoun has served as executive vice president of Michigan's Total Quality Engineering since 2015. A former semi-professional football player, Philip Calhoun counts the New England Patriots as his favorite National Football League (NFL) team.

The NFL Network compiles a list of the league's top 100 players prior to every season and, for the second consecutive year, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has topped the list. Brady, who will turn 41 years old in August, is a 13-time Pro Bowl player, five-time Super Bowl champion, and three-time MVP. He led the league in passing yards last season with 4,577, while also throwing for 32 touchdowns compared to only eight interceptions. He has been ranked in the top five of the NFL Network list since 2011. 

What stands out about the recent No. 1 ranking for Brady is that the list was curated through a poll conducted among NFL players. Antonio Brown, Carson Wentz, Julio Jones, and Le'Veon Bell rounded out the top five, while Rob Gronkowski (No. 15) was the only other Patriots player to make the top 100.

Patriots Add Tight End Martellus Bennett

A former plant manager at Ford Motor Company and Certified Six Sigma Black Belt, Philip Calhoun is the executive vice president of Total Quality Engineering, where he leverages over a decade of vehicle part manufacturing experience. In his free time, Philip Calhoun enjoys following his favorite National Football League (NFL) team, the New England Patriots.

The Patriots improved its depth at tight end on November 9 by claiming Martellus Bennett off waivers. A 6-foot-7, 248-pound native of San Diego, Bennett was originally drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the second round of the 2008 NFL Draft. He played his first eight seasons in the league between the Cowboys, New York Giants, and Chicago Bears, before signing with the Patriots prior to the 2016 season. He had one of the most productive seasons of his career with New England, producing 701 receiving yards and seven touchdowns on 55 receptions. However, he signed a three-year, $21 million contract in the offseason with the Green Bay Packers.

Through seven games with the Packers in 2017, Bennett caught 24 passes for 233 yards, but was released on November 8 for failing to reveal a physical condition. He passed a physical upon being claimed by the Patriots and recorded three catches for 38 yards in his first game back with the team.

Patriots’ Wide Receiver Julian Edelman to Miss Entire 2017 Season

Philip Calhoun leverages over 18 years of experience as a production plant manager to oversee safety and lead manufacturing innovation projects, such as the development of vehicle personalization centers, as an executive vice president of Total Quality Engineering Inc. A former semi-professional football player in Canada, Philip Calhoun enjoys following the New England Patriots, which ties with the Dallas Cowboys as his favorite NFL team.

The Patriots have won two of the past three Super Bowls, victories to which Julian Edelman has contributed substantially. The 6-foot, 198-pound wide receiver (WR) recorded a combined 2,770 receiving yards in the past three regular seasons and 776 receiving yards in eight playoff games. However, if the team is going to win its third Super Bowl in four years, it will have to do so without Julian Edelman, who suffered an ACL tear in his right knee in a preseason game against the Detroit Lions.

The 32-year-old WR injured his knee on a non-contact play after making his third catch of the game and limped off the field. Shortly after the injury, the Patriots confirmed that he would be out for the duration of the 2017 season. His absence means that the team's offense will have to rely heavily on Danny Amendola, Chris Hogan, and recent acquisition Brandin Cooks.

Patriots Win ESPY for Best Game

With more than 25 years of industrial leadership experience, Philip Calhoun serves as executive vice president at Total Quality Engineering. Outside of his professional pursuits, Philip Calhoun enjoys watching one of his favorite National Football League (NFL) teams, the New England Patriots.

Led by quarterback Tom Brady, the Patriots won their fifth Super Bowl in 16 seasons in 2016 after beating the Atlanta Falcons. Even more impressive than the team's total number of championships is how New England rallied to win the Super Bowl in 2016. At one point in the game, the Patriots were behind by 25 points. 

At the end of the third quarter, New England trailed 28-9, but the team scored a field goal and two touchdowns, including one with 57 seconds left in regulation, sending the game to overtime. Running back James White secured the come-from-behind victory with a two-yard score with 11:02 remaining in overtime.

The impressive comeback earned the Patriots the Best Game award at the 25th annual ESPY Awards, which were hosted by former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning, a longtime rival of the Patriots.

New England Patriots Acquire Defensive End Kony Ealy

The executive vice president of Total Quality Engineering, Philip Calhoun previously served a variety of roles for Ford Motor Company at manufacturing plants throughout North America. A former semi-professional football player in Canada, Philip Calhoun counts the New England Patriots as one of his favorite National Football League (NFL) teams. 

Despite winning the Super Bowl in February, the Patriots wasted little time in improving its roster for another championship run in 2017. Since the beginning of March, the team has acquired numerous high-profile players, including tight end Dwayne Allen, wide receiver Brandin Cooks, and cornerback Stephon Gilmore. One of the other prominent acquisitions was defensive end Kony Ealy, who the team received from the Carolina Panthers along with the Panthers’ third-round draft pick in exchange for the Patriots' second-round selection. 

A former second-round draft pick himself, Ealy played three seasons with the Panthers and compiled 14 sacks and six forced fumbles in 47 regular-season games. The 25 year old had the best game of his career in the Panthers' Super Bowl 50 loss against the Denver Broncos, in which he recorded three sacks, a forced fumble, fumble recovery, and an interception.
