Josh Allen was named NFL MVP after an outstanding season with the Bills. Saquon Barkley, Jayden Daniels, and Joe Burrow were also awarded.
Allen Ends a Great Season as MVP
With the 2024-25 NFL season coming to an end, the NFL Honors were held to recognize the best performances of the year. As expected, Josh Allen was named the Most Valuable Player (MVP), surpassing contenders like Lamar Jackson and Saquon Barkley.
Although the Bills’ quarterback saw his season cut short in the AFC Championship Game against the Kansas City Chiefs, this did not prevent him from receiving the award for the best player of the season. With 3,731 passing yards, 531 rushing yards, 28 touchdown passes, and 12 rushing touchdowns, Allen secured the prestigious recognition.
When stepping onto the stage, Allen thanked God, his fellow nominees, the Bills, and his teammates, stating that while this is an individual award, he owes it to everyone on his team. Josh Allen became the first Bills player to be named MVP since Thurman Thomas won it in 1991.
Saquon, Burrow, and Daniels Also Honored
Despite Allen winning MVP, that did not stop Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley from being recognized for his incredible season. The player, who will compete in the Super Bowl this Sunday, was named Offensive Player of the Year.
Likewise, Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels earned the Offensive Rookie of the Year award. In his first season with the Commanders, Daniels led the team to the NFC Championship Game for the first time since 1991.
Additionally, Joe Burrow was honored with the Comeback Player of the Year award. The Cincinnati Bengals quarterback suffered a wrist injury in 2023, but in 2024, he returned to the field with an impressive performance despite the setback.
