There’s a very real possibility a quarterback wins this award. I have to add that caveat before we get into the favorites, sleepers and long shots for 2022 NFL Offensive Player of the Year, because only one quarterback is listed below.
The reason for that is because quarterbacks don’t have top-five odds to be considered favorites, but they aren’t exactly sleepers either. Many of them top the list of MVP favorites. But it is noteworthy that prior to the drought of the last three years, QBs had won OPOY in eight of the previous 12 years. So as much as we think about this award as reserved for running backs and wide receivers, that’s not necessarily true.
