While scrolling through my Twitter feed and reading comments about the Ravens 12 Pro Bowl players named to the 2020 squad, I saw some chatter about the league MVP. One Seahawks fan rationalized while considering Lamar versus Russ, that since Seattle has only 1 other Pro Bowler not named Russell Wilson, that Wilson should edge out Lamar Jackson for the coveted award since Lamar’s efforts have been supported by 11 other Pro Bowlers.
Talk about tunnel vision!
The way I see it, the mark of an MVP is a player who more than any other player in the NFL, fuels his team’s success via accomplishment and by making those around him better.
