It’s too bad wide receivers can’t win NFL Most Valuable Player.
There’s no rule against a receiver winning, but it has never happened. Jerry Rice didn’t even get one. It would take something incredible for a receiver to take the NFL’s top award.
If it was a realistic possibility and Lamar Jackson didn’t exist in 2019, New Orleans Saints receiver Michael Thomas would be a great pick as the first receiver to win NFL MVP.
Thomas is having one of the best seasons a receiver has ever had. His value was obvious in the fourth quarter Sunday.
