Defensive MVP
Neither MVP race provided much drama this year. Both winners ran (literally in the case of the offense) with the award. The defensive winner led an undefeated team in the regular season. They lost a heartbreaker in the playoffs to Chicago, but they won every game in the regular season. He made 110 tackles, 13 hurries, 7 stuffs, 7 forced fumbles, 1 pass defended, and 1 interception. He also set a standard for sacks that probably won’t soon be eclipsed. Michigan Panther OLB John Corker terrorized opposing quarterbacks to the tune of 27 sacks or 1.5 per game. He recorded 3 in a game 4 times. That alone won him the award.
Offensive MVP
When they announced his name as the starting running back for his team, excitement for the league went through the roof. He does things on a football field we haven’t ever seen. A dual threat runner and receiver, he gained 1839 yards on the ground and scored 9 touchdowns. He also caught 68 passes for 899 yards and 8 more touchdowns. New Jersey’s Herschel Walker will do great things for many years to come. This is no doubt only the first of several MVP awards for the young man.
