Burrow and Jefferson were key pieces in LSU’s 2019 title run, while Hurts won a national championship in 2017 with Alabama.
All 3 players led their teams to playoff berths. Hurts and Burrow are still in the mix for a Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles and Cincinnati Bengals, respectively.
Who will be named this year’s NFL MVP? Any of the 5 players named as finalists would be worthy choices. We’ll see who takes home the trophy soon!
