NFL Awards: Mid-Season Awards for 2020 (MVP, DPOY and more…)

Stats: 7 Games: 775 rushing yards for 8 TDs + 10 receptions for 81 receiving yards.
Derrick Henry looks poised to win another rushing title. The only real threat to that is who comes in at #2 here. Henry continues to make defensive players look like toddlers. Most notably this season when he sent Josh Norman into the ground with his stiff arm. Henry is the heart and soul of this Titans team and boy is it fun to watch him ground and pound opposing defense.
Stats: 652 rushing yards, 14 receptions for 127 yards and 11 total touchdowns.
