NFL Awards Predictions 2024-25

MVP:

CJ Stroud - QB

(Runner-Ups: Aaron Rodgers, Jalen Hurts, Jordan Love, Lamar Jackson)

2023 Stats - 23 TD, 5 INT, 4108 YDS (15 GMS)

After leading the Texans to the playoffs and a surprising season, Stroud is coming off a fantastic rookie campaign. With that, the team made even more additions to help the young quarterback out. Expect Stroud to show why he could be the face of the league for years to come.

OPOY:

Ja'Marr Chase - WR (If he plays)

(Runner-Ups: Christian McCaffrey, Breece Hall, Tyreek Hill, Josh Jacobs)

2023 Stats - 100 REC, 1216 YDS, 7 TD (16 GMS)

Though Chase struggled at times last season, he is getting his running mate back in Joe Burrow. With that, there is no reason that the connection shouldn't connect like it did previously. If the two can get it going again, expect Chase to have a monster season offensively.

DPOY:

TJ Watt - LB

(Runner-Ups: Quinnen Williams, Myles Garrett, Montez Sweat, Kyle Hamilton)

2023 Stats - 68 TKLS, 19 SKS, 1 FF, 1 INT (17 GMS)

After finishing second in the award last season, Watt is primed for another stellar season on the Pittsburgh defense. Arguably Watt should have won the award after coming off an injured season. As one of the best defensive players of this generation, expect the star to help lead the Steelers to wins and create havoc.

CPOY:

Aaron Rodgers - QB

(Runner-Up: Joe Burrow)

2023 Stats - N/A

After a devastating start to last season, Rodgers is looking to finally lead his Jets team to something special. With weapons around him, there is no reason he can't get back into form quickly.

---

OROY:

Jayden Daniels - QB

(Runner-Ups: Keon Coleman, Caleb Williams, Marvin Harrison Jr., Bo Nix)

2023 Stats - 3812 YDS, 40 TD, 4 INT (Heisman Winner)

Coming off an excellent end to his college career, Daniels is coming into the league hot with much to prove. The reigning Heisman winner was drafted into a situation to start on the first day in Washington, which should give him the go ahead instantly. Though the Commanders have struggled, Daniels could be a shining light for them in this upcoming season.

---

DROY:

Dallas Turner - EDGE

(Runner-Ups: Nate Wiggins, Quinyon Mitchell, Chop Robinson, Edgerrin Cooper)

2023 Stats - 53 TKLS, 10 SKS, 2 FF

After a good career at Alabama, and a very good 2023 season, Turner is primed to shine in the league with fellow Crimson Tide members. Turner should expect to see a lot of snaps entering a Minnesota team that may be on the downfall this upcoming season. He can easily be one of the shining lights and prove why he can be a star in his role for years to come.

COTY:

DeMeco Ryans - Texans

(Runner-Ups: Shane Steichen, Matt LaFluer, Raheem Morris, Jim Harbaugh)

2023 Stats - 10-7

Though he should have won the award last season following a big surprise in his very first year as a head coach, expect the Texans to be even better this season. It could be hard following the expectations this season, but if Houston can prove they are now elite, Ryans should be at the top of the list once again. It should be a close race this season with many new faces, and a competitive league.
