With three-quarters of the 2019 regular season now in the books, who have been the standouts for the New England Patriots on defense so far?

Unlike the New England Patriots offense, the New England Patriots defense has been chock-full of worthy candidates for team MVP honors pretty much all season long.

Previously in our lists we made at the quarter-mark and midway-point of the season, we included guys like Jamie Collins and Kyle Van Noy on these rankings. While Collins and Van Noy haven’t necessarily played poorer over the past four games (against the Ravens, Eagles, Cowboys, and Texans), they also haven’t quite maintained the blazing-hot starts they had to their season. Both players were particularly productive during the first four games of the year.

In their stead, however, other worthy Patriots players have ascended to glory. Without further ado, here’s a list of New England’s three defensive MVPs at the three-quarters mark of the season.
