The Associated Press revealed its list of nominees for all of the major awards for the 2022 season, but no Tennessee Titans players or coaches were among them.
The eight major awards we’re talking about are the Associated Press’ Most Valuable Player, Defensive Player of the Year, Offensive Player of the Year, Defensive Rookie of the Year, Offensive Rookie of the Year, Comeback Player of the Year, Coach of the Year, and Assistant Coach of the Year.
The Titans had taken home one major award in each of the past three seasons prior to 2022.
Quarterback Ryan Tannehill won Comeback Player of the Year in 2019, running back Derrick Henry won Offensive Player of the Year in 2020, and head coach Mike Vrabel won Coach of the Year in 2021.
Speaking of Henry, he is up for an award, just not for one of the big ones. Henry is one of three nominated for FedEx Ground Player of the Year, but that award figures to go to the rushing champion, Josh Jacobs.
In case you missed this year’s list of nominees (the winners will be announced at the NFL Honors show in February), we have them below. Players or coaches in bold are my personal pick for the award.
