For the first time this season, voters for the title of MVP did not have to give only one name. Their list must have been five surnames long.
The principle was to give 10 points to the first on the list, then 5, 3, 2 and 1 point.
Patrick Mahomes has won quite a bit, since he has been placed 48 times in first position and twice in second place. What offer him 490 points, far ahead of the 193 units of Jalen Hurts and the 151 points awarded to Josh Allen. These three men are the only ones to have had votes in first place.
Behind, we find Joe Burrow (128), Justin Jefferson (55) and Nick Bosa (20), who are the only ones to pass the 20 points.
And among those who recover a point, there is Denny Kellington. An astonishing name, and for good reason, since Kellington is not a player. He is an assistant in the group of physios of the Bills. And it was he who performed cardiac massage that saved Damar Hamlin’s life on January 3.
According to the Associated Press, it was ESPN reporter Suzy Kolber who gave Kellington that fifth-place vote. For her, it is a symbolic gesture to represent all the people who carry the weight of this work every week and who rarely get the recognition they deserve. »
