A night to celebrate and reward the best in the league; Rodgers beat Brady
It was the last season of the NFL for Tom Brady, who decided to retire. If at some point this offseason he decides to return, only time will tell. He was, after a campaign of more than five thousand yards, one of the favorites to be the Most valuable Player.
However, it was someone else who caught the eye of the voting specialists. Aaron Rodgers took home the most coveted individual award year after year in the NFL.
This is how the voting went…
For the fourth time in his career, second in a row, the Packers quarterback takes home the most coveted honor in the NFL – at least in terms of individual awards.
Rodgers won the race over Brady, who a few weeks ago decided to retire. Aaron started in 16 games and led the Packers 13-3 for the third straight time to earn the top seed in the NFC.
He had 4,115 yards with 37 touchdowns and just 4 interceptions. He had a completion percentage of 68.9 percent and a rating of 111.9.
We don’t think we’re exaggerating, and this award confirms our belief that, without him, the Packers will suffer in the NFL. We will see what happens in the coming months with this story.

Offensive Player of the Year: cooper kupp
Tremendous season for the Los Angeles Rams wide receiver. In 17 games started: 1,947 yards on 145 receptions for 17 touchdowns.
His best marks since he arrived in the NFL in 2017. A season that earned him the Pro Bowl and the first All Pro team for the first time in his career.
He will play the Super Bowl and it would not be unusual for him to be the MVP of the game.
π₯ What a season of Cooper Kupp! π₯

Coach of the Year: Mike Vrabel
It was not a good end to the season for Vrabel’s Tennessee Titans, but what this team did throughout the 2021 season is to recognize, more so when you finish leading the same conference as the Chiefs and patrick mahomes.

In his first season he could only play 10 games with the Bengals, he left the rest of the campaign due to a serious knee injury.
But in 2021 he came back strong both physically and mentally, completing for 4,611 yards, 34 touchdowns and a 108.3 rating.
Burrow will be playing in his first Super Bowl and could give the franchise football’s top trophy in just his second NFL season.
π AWESOME! π
π₯ In his second season, Joe Burrow will play the Super Bowl.

Defensive Rookie Player of the Year: Micah Parsons
Another strong candidacy that takes the honor. The Dallas Cowboys linebacker has been an essential part of the defensive reconfiguration in 2021.
Cowboys went from being a skinny opponent to a brutal one on the defensive end and Parsons is one of the culprits: 16 starts for the rookie; three passes defended; three forced fumbles; 13 sacks; 84 tackles, 64 solos, 20 assists for 20 yard loss to the opponent; 30 hits to the rival quarterback.
π₯ What a season for Micah Parsons!

Offensive Rookie Player of the Year: Ja’Marr Chase
One of the most sung prizes for this gala night, the receiver of the Bengals – who will soon play the Super Bowl LVI – achieved 81 receptions for 1455 yards and 13 touchdowns in 17 games started.
Mention aside his game in Week 17 against the Kansas City Chiefs, a memorable performance that will remain for the books of the Cincinnati franchise -one that also gave the team the pass to the playoffs, so important was that Chase Sunday- .
