Some thought the MVP would be Patrick Mahomes, and others said that it would be Brock Purdy, but the reality couldn’t be further from these statements. Everyone knew who the comeback player of the year would be, but what about the other categories?

Everyone is guessing who the MVP, rookie of the year, or defensive player of the year might be. In the same spirit, MLFootball on X did its fair share and posted a list of ballots similar to many other accounts on the social media platform. Let’s have a look.

According to MLFootball’s post on X, the MVP should go to Lamar Jackson. They also think the Offensive Player of the Year (OPoy) might go to Christian McCaffrey. It would not be a far-fetched idea to think that Maxx Crosby would find a place as the Defensive Player of the Year (DPoY).

The NFL community is unequivocal about the fact that CJ Stroud is hands down the best contender for the Offensive Rookie of the Year award. Meanwhile, the Defensive Rookie of the Year might go to the LA Rams DT Kobie Turner. Also, the Comeback Player of the Year might go to Damar Hamlin, considering the adversity that he has overcome.

There are many NFL pundits with many lists; however, this one seems more realistic.

A tally from CBS tells a different story, however, with a couple of similar elements in the mix.
