PFW analyzes the AFC players who will be most vital to their teams' success in 2003.
It happens every year on every NFL team. One player steps up and takes his game to the next level, guiding his team through the perils of the season.
These players become as necessary to the team's on-field operations as water is to the Hoover Dam. They are each team's MVPs, and what follows is a rundown of the pilots Pro Football Weekly believes will steer the 32 ships sailing for the Super Bowl this year.
AFC East
Offensive MVP: Quarterback Drew Bledsoe. Bledsoe exploded onto the scene as a leader and big-time producer on the field. With the emergence of running back Travis Henry, it will be up to Bledsoe to keep the Bills' offense balanced.
Defensive MVP: Outside linebacker Takeo Spikes. Last season, it was tough to predict a defensive MVP for this team, as no one really stood out. But an offseason overhaul has changed that, and Spikes is expected to become the heart and soul of this unit.
