Cooper Kupp had a great night at the NFL Honors show, winning 2021 AP Offensive Player of the Year and DraftKings Daily Fantasy Player of the Year. It’s no surprise that he didn’t win MVP, an award that went to Aaron Rodgers, but he did receive one of the 50 votes.
That’s an accomplishment in its own right, considering how rare it is for a wide receiver to get even one vote for MVP. He finished third in the voting behind Rodgers and Tom Brady – two future Hall of Famers.
What’s crazy is that he now has more MVP votes than Russell Wilson has in his 10-year career. It’s hard to believe that Wilson has never received a vote for MVP despite making the Pro Bowl nine times in 10 seasons and finishing top-four in Offensive Player of the Year voting four times, but Wilson still has never received an MVP vote.
