Christian McCaffrey, the latest guest on the Tom Brady and Co. on his “Let’s Go” podcast, was part of an interesting conversation with the NFL legend. Both the stalwarts engaged in some deep topics covering their careers, off-field antics, and even discussing charity works. Naturally, the conversation diverged towards the MVP debate.

Proud McCaffrey who symbolizes his team culture provided some clarity about the player whom he considers as the NFL MVP, saying, “Yeah if I had my vote, I think Brock (Purdy) is the MVP, and Trent (Williams) would be the second in line.”. This was met by some banter from Brady who chipped in with his own remarks.
