MVP:  Baker Mayfield

The Most Valuable Player award has three requirements that have become a fixture of the past several years. He must be on a playoff team, he must put up gaudy stats, and he must be a quarterback. Patrick Mahomes was living proof of that with his run in 2018. That’s why Baker Mayfield will follow suit next season. The league is positively salivated at what he’ll do. His personality and swagger is something the media can’t get enough of.

Mayfield, despite a coaching change during midseason, still managed to throw 27 touchdown passes as a rookie. He’s got talent everywhere around him and now the man who coordinated his offense running the entire show in Freddie Kitchens. That means the offense will be run how Mayfield wants it. The division should be there for the taking with Baltimore and Pittsburgh both looking vulnerable. It could be his year.
