For the third time
Josh Sweat Jersey Eagles , Tom Brady is the NFL’s Most Valuable Player.Now he goes for his sixth Super Bowl title, and perhaps with it a fifth MVP trophy for the NFL championship.
Brady added The Associated Press 2017 NFL MVP award Saturday night at NFL Honors to his wins in 2007 and 2010. The New England Patriots quarterback was
joined as an honoree by three Los Angeles Rams: Coach of the Year Sean McVay,
Offensive Player of the Year running back Todd Gurley and Defensive Player of
the Year tackle Aaron Donald.
Other winners in voting by a nationwide panel of 50 media members who regularly cover the league were Los Angeles Chargers receiver Keenan Allen as
Comeback Player; New Orleans running back Alvin Kamara and cornerback Marshon
Lattimore as top offensive and defensive rookies, respectively; and former
Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur, now head coach of the New
York Giants, as Assistant Coach of the Year.
Brady is the second the player in the four major professional sports to win MVP at age 40; Barry Bonds won baseball’s award in 2004.
Wide receiver Julian Edelman, who missed the entire season with a knee injury, accepted for Brady.
”Thanks, thanks. Wait up. I literally just found out I was doing this like 20 minutes ago. So, I’ve got to read the text,” Edelman said.
”No, but I’m joking. But serious
Kyzir White Jersey Chargers , Tom said he wanted to say he’s very honored and humbled that he gets this award for MVP. Also, he wanted to thank his teammates,
his friends, his family and the Patriots organization for going out and doing
what they do.”
Brady competed 385 of 581 passes (66.2 percent) for 4,577 yards and 32 touchdowns with eight interceptions as New England went 13-3 for the AFC’s best
record. At an age when many QBs are deep into retirement, Brady is throwing deep
– and short – as well as ever.
Donald was the first pure defensive tackle to win the award since Warren Sapp in 1999. He said it means ”everything. That’s one of the best to ever do it. So,
even for my name to be next to that guy’s name is beyond a blessing. This is
what you dream about as a kid, dreaming about playing in the NFL to have success
like this, to be able to (play good enough) to win this trophy.”
Gurley’s sensational turnaround season in which he ran for 13 touchdowns and caught six TD passes sparked an equally impressive reversal of fortunes by his
team, which won the NFC West at 11-5.
”The Saints got the rookies and we took home the offensive and defensive” player awards,” Gurley noted. ”It just tells you the type of players we have on
the team. We all help each other out, absolutely. We have some talent

Year.”
A little while later, McVay was handed the coaching award.
In his first season running a team and as the youngest head coach in NFL history, McVay led the Rams to a seven-game improvement. McVay, who turned 32 on
Jan. 24, ran away with the voting with 35 votes to 11 for Minnesota’s Mike
Zimmer.
”What it means is we had a good season that I think we can build on,” McVay said. ”But you have to earn it every single day. It’s a very humbling
league.”
The Rams’ hat trick of awards was not unprecedented. In 2003, Baltimore’s Ray Lewis was top defensive player, Jamal Lewis won best offensive player, and
Terrell Suggs was Defensive Rookie of the Year. And in 1999, the St. Louis Rams
had three award winners: Kurt Warner (MVP), Marshall Faulk (Offensive Player)
and Dick Vermeil (Coach).
New Orleans’ sweep of the rookie awards was the first since 1967, when Detroit running back Mel Farr and cornerback Lem Barney were honored. That was
the first season for the top defensive rookie award.
”You get caught up in the season
Youth Denver Broncos Hats , you don’t really get time to pat yourself on the back,” Kamara said. ”But when the season is over you realize what you’ve done.
I’ve kind of had to time to look back and say, I made some history this
season.”
Kamara shared duties with veteran Mark Ingram as the Saints won the NFC South. He rushed for 728 yards with a 6.1-yard average, and scored eight times.
He also caught 81 passes for 826 yards, with five touchdowns.
The 11th overall draft pick and first from his position selected, Lattimore was a shutdown defender as the Saints went 11-5. He had five interceptions and
18 passes defensed in 13 games, was a sure tackler and, by midseason, was
someone opposing quarterbacks tended to avoid. He missed three games, one
because of a concussion and two with an ankle injury.
Allen returned from two devastating injuries to win the comeback honor. Allen missed half of the 2015 season with a kidney issue, then was lost in the 2016
season opener with a torn right ACL. There were questions if Allen would ever
player at a high level again.
He answered those emphatically this season with the best year of his career. Allen caught 102 passes for 1,393 yards and six touchdowns. He was targeted 159
times

The awards were announced Saturday night at NFL Honors, when Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt received the league’s Walter Payton Award as man of the
year. Watt, in his seventh NFL season and a three-time Defensive Player of the
Year, had the goal of raising $200,000 for Hurricane Harvey relief in Houston.
His fundraising did a whole lot more, bringing in an incredible $37 million in
19 days.
”I’ve been fortunate to be on this stage and to win Defensive Player of the Year awards, but.
