Who are the best players in the NFL right now? That's a question whose answer you've probably debated with friends and family on multiple occasions. While there are no definitive answers to end the debates, the Associated Press strengthens players' cases on a yearly basis. Annual awards like NFL MVP, Offensive Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year eventually become part of the conversation.
The AP awards are now part of the NFL Honors, an awards ceremony held the night before the Super Bowl. The ceremony also includes non-AP awards like the Pepsi Rookie of the Year, the Walter Peyton Man of the Year, the Don Shula NFL High School Coach of the Year Award and the Salute to Service Award.
