Bruce Arians made his no-brainer pick for NFL MVP on Monday. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach said when it comes to the MVP award, “It’s not even a close race.”
“I think if he doesn’t get it, it’s a travesty. Most completions ever, 5,000 yards, touchdowns … the whole nine yards. To me, it’s not even a close race.”
Despite his advanced age, Brady is one of the top MVP candidates this season as he broke the marks for most touchdowns and passing yards all-time early in the year.
His passing yardage and touchdown passes this season were the most in a single season by any quarterback in Buccaneers history.
This is his just his second year with the Bucs as he’s already 2nd all-time on the franchise’s list for most touchdowns passes with 83.
Brady will be competing for MVP votes with Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor and Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp.
