It sure seems like Aaron Rodgers is well on his way to winning NFL MVP for the second consecutive season. But before the Associated Press announces its official awards at the NFL Honors show on Feb. 10, the Pro Football Writers of America revealed theirs. - PFWA voters named Rodgers the Most Valuable Player in the NFL for this season, the second straight year he’s won the award. He put together another stellar season with 37 touchdown passes and only four interceptions, leading the league with a touchdown percentage of 7% and an interception rate of only 0.8% – the fourth straight year he’s had the lowest INT rate. - For the second consecutive season, Rodgers also had the highest passer rating (111.9) in the NFL, which was the third-best of his career. - - Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers is the PFWA's 2021 NFL Most Valuable Player. L.A. Rams WR Cooper Kupp is the Offensive Player of the Year, and Pittsburgh Steelers LB T.J. Watt is the Defensive Player of the Year. - — Pro Football Writers (@PFWAwriters) January 26, 2022 - - - While PFWA’s award isn’t the official one recognized by the NFL, this is a strong indicator that Rodgers will be named MVP by the Associated Press, too. - Every year since 2004, the winner of PFWA MVP has also gone on to win NFL MVP. It’s highly unlikely that Rodgers will break that trend after winning PFWA MVP and also being named first-team All-Pro over Tom Brady. - - Every player selected as the @PFWA’s MVP since 2004 has also been named the NFL’s MVP. - Aaron Rodgers was already named first team All Pro and it feels all but inevitable that he will win his 4th NFL MVP this season.
