With the NFL’s 2025 regular season officially in the rearview and the postseason now upon us, the Associated Press released its First- and Second-team All-Pro teams—and with it, has once again sparked debate on who will be named MVP.
To avoid burying the lede, Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford was named the position’s First-Team All-Pro, with Patriots signal-caller Drake Maye landing on the Second Team. The two stars—one an aging veteran defying Father Time, the other a second-year phenom—have both been lights out for the majority of the 2025 campaign, trading blows throughout the season in terms of production, weekly dominance, and positioning for the league's top honor. And given that the AP votes on both the All-Pro teams and the NFL’s yearly awards, Stafford edging out Maye would also seemingly give him the upper hand towards MVP.
