With every award from Walter Payton Man of the Year to Associated Press NFL MVP being announced on Thursday night, how can anyone expect to keep track?
Aaron Rodgers is favored to win MVP — and award that he’s won on three previous occasions. A fourth MVP would put him one away from tying Peyton Manning with five MVP’s, the most for any one player all-time.
Rodgers will compete with Tom Brady, Cooper Kupp and others for the award, but he’s the prohibitive favorte.
What other awards will be announced on Thursday night?
