Recklessly Early Predictions For 2016 NFL Season Post Draft Edition
AWARDS
MVP: Aaron Rodgers
I’m not going out on any limbs here; the Packers will be dominant and Rodgers will win.
OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR: Antonio Brown
No Martavis Bryant means more targets and possibly a reception record for Brown.
DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR: Khalil Mack
After finishing second in sacks last season, Mack’s progress continues with a better supporting cast.
OFF ROOKIE OF THE YEAR: Ezekiel Elliott
Running behind the best front in the NFL gives him the easy edge.
DEF ROOKIE OF THE YEAR: Darron Lee
Lee might sack the quarterback a lot this year in Todd Bowles blitz heavy defense.
