The New England Patriots have a shot at adding some significant hardware to their already bulging collection.

The Patriots have been nominated for six ESPYs at this year's awards, including Best Championship Performance and Best NFL Player nods for star quarterback Tom Brady.

New England is also up for Best Team and Best Game for their historic comeback win against the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI in which they erased a 28-3 deficit. Head coach Bill Belichick is nominated for Best Record-Breaking Performance, while Julian Edelman's Super Bowl catch is the No. 1 seed for Best Play.

Brady will have to beat out 2016 MVP Matt Ryan as well as Ezekiel Elliott, Khalil Mack, and Aaron Rodgers to take home the award for the NFL's top player.
