NFL Honors 2022 award tracker
By Mark Powell
With every award from Walter Payton Man of the Year to Associated Press NFL MVP being announced on Thursday night, how can anyone expect to keep track?
Aaron Rodgers was favored to win MVP — an award that he won on three previous occasions prior to Thursday night. A fourth MVP put him one away from tying Peyton Manning with five MVP’s, the most for any one player all-time.
Rodgers competed with Tom Brady, Cooper Kupp and others for the award, but he was the prohibitive favorite.
