Seven best NFL offensive power trios in 2017

Tom Brady, Brandin Cooks and Rob Gronkowski (New England Patriots) 

Life just continues to get more glorious for Brady after the future Hall of Famer earned the fifth Super Bowl of his stellar career. As if the Patriots’ offense was not already loaded to the brim with elite talent, Cooks joined the forces  via a trade back in March.

The fourth-year wideout wanted a trade from the New Orleans Saints because he was not seeing enough action from quarterback Drew Brees. Despite his claims, Cooks still managed to tally 78 catches for a career-high 1,173 yards and eight touchdowns. He brings his services up north to now catch passes from another future Hall of Fame quarterback.

Last year, Brady turned suspension lemons into lemonade, throwing for 28 touchdowns and only two interceptions. He eventually led the Patriots to a nail-biting, come from behind, Super Bowl victory.

Brady will now get tight end Rob Gronkowski back. If he stays healthy, the sky will be the limit on the Patriots’ offensive accomplishments.

Cooks and Gronk as well as wide receiver Julian Edelman are sure to supply Brady all he needs for yet another successful run in the AFC East.

Jameis Winston, Mike Evans and DeSean Jackson (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) 

Jameis Winston and Mike Evans should dominate the NFC South in 2017.

Here is another new power trio that really should turn some heads and drop some jaws starting in September.

Winston is coming off a sophomore season that saw him put up 4,090 yards with 28 touchdowns. These are numbers that will surely go up with Jackson now in the mix.

The Buccaneers offered quite the pretty penny in $33.5 million for three years to sway Jackson down to Tampa. Winston personally advocated for Jackson to join the team.

“I’ve met him before, and we want DeSean. You better believe we want DeSean here. I think he would be a great asset to our team. Me growing up an Eagles fan, seeing what he did for the Eagles and back in his Cal days and even with the Redskins, I would love to have DeSean.”

Jackson is still producing at a high level and maintains a stealthy average of 17.9 yards per reception over the course of his nine-year career. That means it is go-time once the speedster gets his hands on the ball.

Jackson joins Evans, who was a brilliant selection of the Buccaneers back in 2014. The Pro Bowler is coming off a career 2016 campaign that saw him put up 1,321 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2016.

If the Buccaneers are two continue their progression this upcoming season, this trio will have to dominate opposing NFC South defenses. At this point, we shouldn’t question Tampa Bay’s ability to do just that.
