There is some growing frustration surrounding the MVP award this year as the NFL regular season starts to wind down. Every year, a panel of 50 sports writers votes on who they believe is the Most Valuable Player in the NFL’s regular season year.
Historically, this award has gone to quarterbacks in the NFL. There have been exceptions throughout its history. For example, most fans will probably remember Vikings’ running back Adrian Peterson winning it back in 2012 as well as defensive tackle Alan Page winning it in 1971. He was the only defensive tackle to win the award in league history.
