Dan Sileo on Pro Football MVP Favorites: Stafford & Maye

Segment Spotlight: Quick Hits From Outspoken With Dan Sileo

MVP Candidates Making a Mark in Pro Football

In the race for the pro football MVP, several standout athletes are making a significant impact this season. First up is Matthew Stafford, who is a favorite to win the MVP award. He has had what could be considered the best season of his career, delivering spectacular performances that could very well lead him to the MVP title. Stafford’s achievements this year underscore his potential to secure a lasting legacy in the sport.

Next, we have Drake May, the young quarterback for the New England Patriots, whose playing style has drawn comparisons to Tom Brady. Although he occasionally exhibited inconsistencies, like last week’s game against the Texans, May's overall performance this season has been impressive. The potential Super Bowl matchup between the Rams and Patriots could see May as the 'heir apparent' facing off against seasoned players.

Josh Allen, another remarkable player, is often described as the most gifted quarterback in pro football. Despite facing the challenge of leading a team with a less competitive roster, Allen's exceptional abilities keep the Buffalo Bills in contention. His performance is critical for his team's success, and any game where he falters could dearly cost them a win.

Christian McCaffrey, fondly referred to as CMC, has proven his worth repeatedly, especially noted during his time with Carolina. Despite needing to maintain his health to impact games consistently, McCaffrey’s versatility and skillset make him a key player, notably contributing to his team’s advance to the divisional round games this season.

Lastly, Trevor Lawrence has shown considerable improvement under the guidance of Liam Cohen. The transformation has been significant, erasing doubts and elevating his performance to match those of top athletes like Josh Allen. Lawrence might be a long shot for the MVP award, but his season has been nothing short of sensational.

While discussing these talented candidates, it becomes apparent that Matthew Stafford might just edge out the others to cap off his remarkable season with an MVP award and, potentially, secure his place in Canton, Ohio.
