NFL Hall of Famer Rod Woodson has voiced a strong opinion that Lamar Jackson deserves the MVP title this year, leaving no room for doubt about Josh Allen.
Rod Woodson, known for his legendary football career, has pointedly expressed that Lamar Jackson is the clear choice for the MVP award this year. He told sports reporters that there’s ‘no question’ in his mind about it.
While Josh Allen has been the popular pick for a significant part of the season, Jackson’s performance has turned the tide. As the season progressed, Jackson’s stats have impressed and swayed opinions, despite Allen’s initial lead in favourite bets.
Woodson, currently a colour commentator for Baltimore, leaned on statistics to support his claim. ’39 passing touchdowns to 26?’ he queried, implying that these numbers weren’t in Allen’s favour.
Jackson has indeed excelled in nearly all categories compared to Allen, except for rushing touchdowns. It’s worth noting, though, that Jackson has played one more game than his Buffalo rival, which might influence the stats slightly.
Even though Woodson’s rooting for Jackson, he insisted that he held no ill will towards Allen. ‘I got much love for the Bills QB,’ he assured, making it clear that his choice was purely based on performance.
Furthermore, Woodson highlighted Jackson’s remarkable plays that captured the nation’s attention on television. Jackson also shattered the all-time QB rushing yard record, making this season unforgettable for him.
As the playoff season approaches, Woodson believes Baltimore Ravens will be a formidable team regardless of the MVP title. ‘Once the postseason gets here, I don’t think anybody wants to face the Baltimore Ravens,’ he added, indicating a strong belief in the team’s potential.
The MVP race is heating up, and Woodson’s unwavering support for Jackson adds an interesting twist. The coming games will determine if Jackson officially claims the title.
