The New England Patriots won their sixth Super Bowl title on Sunday night courtesy of a 13-3 win over the Los Angeles Rams. However, for only the second time in the Patriots' six Super Bowl victories, Tom Brady did not win MVP of the game.

Wide receiver Julian Edelman took home the honor on Sunday evening after hauling in 10 receptions for 141 yards, as the 32-year-old wideout had the Rams' defense scrambling all night.

However, Edelman may have never had the opportunity to do that had it not been for a sportswriter who brought Edelman to Belichick's attention when he was a quarterback at Kent State back in 2009.

“It’s kind of interesting,” Belichick said, according to Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk. “I’ve got to give Rick Gosselin credit on that one for getting us started. I talked to Rick — as you know, Rick followed the draft very closely — and at one point, he said to me, ‘A kid you might want to take a look at is this quarterback out of Kent State. I don’t think he can play quarterback [in the NFL], but I’ve heard he’s a pretty good player.’”

The Patriots ended up taking Edelman in the seventh round of the 2009 NFL Draft and converted him to wide receiver, and the rest is history.

“So we kind of got going on him a little bit, and we were like, ‘OK, what would we do with Julian? Is he a receiver? Is he a punt returner? Is he a defensive back? Is he maybe a guy that just can play multiple positions in the kicking game?’ So we went out and worked him out. How many times did we work you out? Two? So we sent one coach up there. And then we were like, ‘Well all right, let’s send someone else up there, because we weren’t really sure what to do with him. “So, as it turned out, he came to the Patriots and caught passes, which he hadn’t done before, returned kicks, which he hadn’t done before, and played defense, which he hadn’t done before, in addition to covering kicks and all the other things in special teams.”

Talk about a steal.
