1. Saquon Barkley eclipsed over 2000 all-purpose yards as a rookie, but could’ve been even better with a functional QB. The future is bright for the New York Giants and its obvious they made the right choice with taking Barkley #2 overall in last years draft.
2. Aaron Donald has been more than excellent recording 20.5 sacks with over 40 QB hits. He also forced 4 fumbles, and recovered one. Donald is having one of the best defensive tenures in the NFL since J.J. Watts run. Donald is effective in both the run and pass defenses which makes him so elite. Donald did all this without missing a game in the Rams Super Bowl season.
3. Patrick Mahomes wasn’t an easy pick for MVP as Drew Brees followed closely behind him, but looking at the stats, Mahomes deserves the award. Sitting with over 5000 yards and 50 TDs, Mahomes lit up the entire league by storm, quickly running away with the MVP. Kansas City fell short to the Super Bowl Champions, New England Patriots, but fortunately the future is bright for KC and Mahomes.
4. Andrew Luck was the easy pick for Comeback Player of the Year in 2019. His recent injury sidelined him for a significant amount of time, putting the Colts in a vunerable spot with no certain QB. His comeback ended with just over 4500 yards and 39 TDs. Considering Luck was being talked about as if he was never going to return, he did, and they are pieces away from being a Super Bowl contender.
5. Chicago Bears HC Matt Nagy and DC Vic Fangio have won coaching awards for their standout coaching, lifting the Bears to a division win. Without the words,”double-doink” the Bears could’ve possibly made a Super Bowl run, but the world may never know. Fangio earned his HC spot with the Denver Broncos whom look to take a defensive coaching method.
