Hall of Fame TE picks sides in Josh Allen vs Lamar Jackson MVP race | Image Source: Getty
We're nearly done with Week 16's round of action and Lamar Jackson appears to have strengthened his case to be named the league's most valuable player. For the past few weeks, Josh Allen was comfortable at the top of that ladder with several NFL analysts calling the race for the MVP in the Buffalo Bills QB's favor. However, with two weeks of action to go, Jackson appears to have taken the comments from those analysts personally as he put on yet another show against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
While the NFL world has been going back and forth between Jackson and Allen (and even Jared Goff and Saquon Barkley), Denver Broncos legend Shannon Sharpe made his opinion clear on this year's MVP race. On the "Nigthcap Show" on Sunday, the legendary tight end said:
“MVP is not over. It is not over," Sharpe said.
“I’m basing my vote on play that year. Y’all got to look at Lamar’s stats. The man has 37 TDs, 4 picks. Then you throw in his rushing totals, he’s at 40 TDs with six or seven turnovers. You look at his passing numbers, that’s what Aaron Rodgers was doing when he was winning MVP. Right now, if I had a vote, I’m probably voting for Lamar.”
