"Maye missed out on the MVP by one first-place vote. Stafford finished with 366 points and 24 first-place votes while Maye totaled 361 on 23-first-place votes. The one voter who didn't give Maye a first-place vote didn't, in fact, vote for Stafford. NFL analyst Sam Monson publicly announced himself as the one who didn't vote for Maye, but instead, told the world he voted for ... Justin Herbert?"
"When talking about placing Herbert at number one, Monson said he was truly trying to make this about "value," noting how Herbert had the worst offensive line in football this past season. He's right on that one, and it wasn't even close. At one point, it seemed like the Chargers were tossing in any warm body up front, to protect their quarterback."
Mike Vrabel won the NFL Coach of the Year award. Drake Maye was a finalist for both MVP and Offensive Player of the Year but did not win either; Matthew Stafford won MVP and Jaxson Smith-Njigba won Offensive Player of the Year. Stafford received 366 points and 24 first-place votes, while Maye received 361 points and 23 first-place votes. Sam Monson revealed he did not give Maye a first-place vote and said he placed Justin Herbert first, despite Herbert not appearing on the ballot. Monson said he prioritized 'value' due to Herbert's poor offensive line and listed Herbert first, Stafford second, Maye third. Monson also noted that removing Herbert would have left the results unchanged.
