The 2007 New England Patriots achieved a historic and unprecedented 16-0 regular season record, becoming the first team to do so in NFL history. Led by league MVP Tom Brady, who threw a then-record 50 touchdowns, and Randy Moss, who set a record with 23 receiving touchdowns, the team featured the highest-scoring offense in the league and advanced to Super Bowl XLII after dominant playoff wins. The 21st overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft, Laurence Maroney was a productive running back for the New England Patriots who recorded over 2,400 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns while helping the team reach Super Bowl XLII.
