J.J. Watt would like to see some defensive players get some love from MVP voters.Responding to Sam Farmer of the making the case for Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald being named the NFL’s Most Valuable Player Womens Tyler Ervin Jersey , Watt wrote on Twitter that he thinks the voters are always going to select someone who plays offense.“See 2014,” Watt wrote. “It’s always been an offensive award. (or 2012).”In 2014, Watt got 13 out of 50 MVP votes Womens Shane Lechler Jersey , finishing a distant second to Aaron Rodgers in MVP voting. That’s the closest any defensive player has come to winning the Associated Press league MVP award since 1986, when Lawrence Taylor won it.The fact that Taylor won MVP shows that it hasn’t “always” been an offensive award, as Watt said. Vikings defensive tackle Alan Page also won the award in 1971 Zach Cunningham Jersey White , and Washington kicker Mark Moseley won it in 1982. But those are the only defensive or special teams players to win the award in its 61-year history.In today’s NFL, it’s hard to picture anyone other than a quarterback winning MVP. Even great ones like Watt and Donald. Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes are two of the NFL’s top young quarterbacks, and they’ve been the only two quarterbacks this season to do something incredibly difficult: Finish a game with more touchdown passes than incompletions.Watson completed 16 of 20 passes with five touchdowns in Thursday night’s win over the Dolphins Womens Seantrel Henderson Jersey , while Mahomes completed 23 of 28 passes with six touchdowns in the Chiefs’ Week Two win over the Steelers.Before this year, the last starting quarterback to finish a game with more touchdown passes than incompletions was Teddy Bridgewater, pre-knee injury Ka'imi Fairbairn Jersey White , who completed 17 of 20 passes with four touchdowns in a Vikings win over the Bears in 2015.Whole NFL seasons go by without a quarterback managing to finish a game with more touchdown passes than incompletions, but we’ve already seen it twice this year. Not a bad accomplishment for a couple of 23-year-olds in their second NFL seasons.
