Matthew Stafford has been named to the Pro Bowl exactly one time during his 12 NFL seasons. Now on the LA Rams instead of the Detroit Lions, Stafford is an early consideration as one of the favorites for the 2021 MVP award. Those are lofty expectations for a quarterback who hasn’t been a part of a 10-win team since 2014, but that changed as soon as he got traded to a 10-win team.
Stafford opened with the fifth-best odds to win MVP next season, following Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers, Josh Allen, and Russell Wilson.
