The NFL season is nearing an end and with it, the MVP conversation. The only issue is it’s anyone’s guess who’s going to take home the coveted trophy. Typically, the award is won by a quarterback, but no signal-caller has been able to separate themselves from the back—leading to some discussion on who else could win it.
Outside of the quarterbacks, San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey has forced his way into the conversation to win the award, but Hall of Fame tailback Barry Sanders threw cold water on it Tuesday.
“You know this award is going to a QB @ShannonSharpe,” he wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “I rushed for 2000 yards in 97 and they made me co-MVP with Brett Favre. I do think there is a shot #Christian will split it with (Insert QB here).”
