The regular season has officially come to an end, which is why NFL analysts and pundits are getting their awards predictions ready.
We hadn’t seen an MVP race like this one in years, and while it’s more likely going to go to a quarterback again, multiple players could’ve been legitimate candidates.
Myles Garrett, Tyreek Hill, and CeeDee Lamb could’ve gotten plenty of consideration, but that wasn’t the case.
Notably, former NFL QB Dan Orlovsky recently took to ESPN’s Get Up to share his top five frontrunners, and there weren’t many surprises.

At No. 5, he chose Brock Purdy, who was leading the race earlier in the campaign before some subpar performances against winning teams and who’s still drawing questions about whether he’s a system quarterback or not.
Then, he chose his teammate Christian McCaffrey, the league leader in total touchdowns among non-QBs and the most versatile and dynamic offensive weapon in the National Football League.
Dak Prescott got the nod at No. 3, and rightfully so, as he balled out for most of the season and had the best season of his career.
However, dropping consecutive games against winning teams late in the season made him fall from grace in this race.
Josh Allen got the nod at No. 2, and while some might complain about that, he actually led the league in touchdowns.
Turnovers aside, he also put his team on his back to clinch a divisional title after a slow start to the campaign.
And, unsurprisingly, Lamar Jackson leads the race, as he was the best player on the best team in the league.
