Darius Slay is having a Pro Bowl and All-Pro type of season, but that doesn’t mean he can’t campaign for his quarterback to snag the NFL’s most important individual honor.
During his ‘Big Play Slay’ Podcast via The Volume, Slay made the case for Hurts to be the Associated Press NFL MVP over Patrick Mahomes.
For Slay, it was all about Mahomes having to throw the ball 50 times a game, while Hurts can beat teams in a variety of different ways.
