From exciting quarterbacks like Lamar Jackson to the top-tier pass rushers like Micah Parsons, the NFL is not lacking in the talent department. With the regular season officially underway, let’s make our picks for the season-long awards, such as MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, and more!

Predictions have become a staple in preseason discourse as analysts attempt to forecast the regular season before it even begins. I, of course, am no different and will be rolling out my full slate of predictions as the first NFL Sunday nears kick-off!

If you are looking for season-long, team-specific predictions, those dropped earlier in the week and can be found here. With all that out of the way, it brings us to the topic at hand: Predicting every individual award winner from the 2023 NFL regular season.

Keep in mind, not every prediction will be a bold one. The goal here is accuracy, not shock value. So, with that out of the way, let’s get the ball rolling with the granddaddy of them all — the highly-coveted NFL regular season MVP.
