Russell Wilson receives no NFL MVP votes, Lamar Jackson gets all 50

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson received no MVP votes as all 50 of them went to Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.

Before Super Bowl LIV, the NFL end-of-season awards were announced during the NFL Honors show. Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson received all 50 votes for the NFL’s Most Valuable Player, becoming only the second unanimous MVP in NFL history, joining Tom Brady after his 2010-11 campaign.

This means that Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson did not receive a single vote for MVP. Wilson had a solid season, throwing for 4,110 yards, 31 touchdowns, five interceptions and a passer rating of 106.3. However, Jackson did things that were unprecedented in the NFL, breaking numerous all-time records. He led the league in touchdown passes with 36 and most notably set the NFL record for most rushing yards by a quarterback with 1,206.

Some would argue that the Seahawks would have struggled immensely throughout the 2019 season without Wilson, while Jackson had 11 Pro Bowlers beside him in Baltimore. However, Jackson took the NFL by storm and Wilson had a four-game stretch where he threw an interception per game which likely contributed to his ousting from the MVP race by year’s end.

Wilson had one of his best seasons in the prime of his career, but the NFL MVP award still eludes him. However, Wilson prioritizes winning above all else, and he will continue to do so heading into the 2020 season.

Jonotthan Harrison is Jets’ nominee for Walter Payton Man of the Year award

The Jets have nominated Jonotthan Harrison for the Walter Payton Man of the Year award.

The New York Jets announced on Thursday that center Jonotthan Harrison is the team’s nominee for the Walter Payton Man of the Year award. The award recognizes players who help out in their communities.

Harrison has always focused on bullying around the United States. He was bullied as a child and is now raising awareness about bullying through social media and public speaking. Harrison wants children to understand the signs of bullying and how they can prevent it from happening. He is also an ambassador for Stomp Out Bullying, a nonprofit that aims to improve bullying culture among students.

“I am humbled to be amongst this contingent of selfless honorees,” Harrison said in a statement. “The opportunity to represent the Jets organization, my family and my community means so much to me. Growing up, I was an easy target for bullies. The daily harassment I endured helped shape me to become who I am today.”

For being nominated, Harrison will wear the Walter Payton Man of the Year decal on his helmet for the rest of the season. A $40,000 donation will go to a charity of his choice.

The award will be announced during the NFL Honors show the night before Super Bowl LIV. The winner will take home a $250,000 donation to a charity he selects.
