tom brady s full mvp ballot revealed after nfl honors ceremony

Following the NFL Honors ceremony, the Associated Press (AP) made the unprecedented decision to release the full voting ballots of all 50 voters who selected this year’s MVP, Coach of the Year, and other... Among the names on that list, one stood out in particular—Tom Brady. Many NFL fans were surprised to learn that the three-time NFL MVP and seven-time Super Bowl champion was one of the official voters for the league’s most prestigious individual honors. Given his unique position as both a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders and the lead color commentator for Fox’s NFL broadcasts, some have raised questions about potential conflicts of interest. However, as of now, neither the NFL nor the media have raised any formal concerns about Brady’s dual roles in ownership and journalism. The NFL MVP race in 2024 was one of the tightest in recent history, culminating in Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen winning the award in a surprising decision over Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson.

Allen secured 27 first-place votes, while Jackson finished with 23, marking the closest MVP race since Brady himself lost to Matt Ryan in 2016. RELATED: Greg Olsen Addresses Rumored Tension with Tom Brady Before Super Bowl The results are in and Josh Allen is the 2024 NFL MVP, narrowly beating out Lamar Jackson in one of the closest MVP races ever. There's some math that doesn't math up when it comes to the final tallies, because Lamar was First-Team All-Pro and that's been a nearly universal sign he would win MVP. Even Allen was surprised he won. But perhaps even more odd than that and maybe even more bizarre than Lamar receiving a fourth-place MVP vote in the balloting, is the ballot from the 🐐 himself, one Tom Brady, the future...

Brady's ballot featured Lamar first, Allen second, Saquon Barkley third and then took an odd swerve, with Brady listing Ja'Marr Chase as the fourth most valuable player in football. I have zero issues with giving Chase votes, because he was incredible this season. But the fifth choice for Brady? Joe Burrow! You know, the guy throwing the football to Chase. Brady is a former NFL quarterback and he listed a receiver over a quarterback in the MVP balloting?!

Make it make sense. I can't. Multiple people voted for Chase, which, again, I have no problem with. Charles Robinson of Yahoo! Sports, a veteran NFL reporter, listed Chase on his ballot, putting him at fifth, with Burrow third. NBC Sports Chris Simms also listed Chase -- Simms likes to go a little against the grain with his draft/offseason QB/etc rankings and I have no problem when he does it.

(Anecdotally, he's usually right more often than not when it shakes out I've noticed.) Simms also listed Burrow fourth, ahead of Chase. Perfectly sensible stuff. Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was named MVP of the 2024 season at the NFL Honors in New Orleans Thursday evening. In one of the closest MVP finishes in NFL history, Allen narrowly edged out Baltimore Ravens’ star Lamar Jackson for the award. When all 50 ballots were counted, Allen received 27 first-place votes and finished with 383 points to take home the hardware. But did the GOAT co-sign Allen’s achievement?

As it turns out, Tom Brady had Allen second in the MVP race as the future Hall of Famer voted for Jackson to win the award, according to the Associated Press. Jackson finished with 23 first-place votes and 362 points to finish just behind Allen. Brady won the NFL Most Valuable Player Award three times in his career (2007, 2010 and 2017). Had Jackson won this year, he would have joined Tom as a three-time MVP. Allen has come close to winning the award several times in his seven-year career. He finished second in 2020, losing to Aaron Rodgers, and came in third in 2022 when Patrick Mahomes grabbed the prize.

Last season, when Jackson won his second MVP, Allen finished fifth in the vote despite throwing for 4,306 yards and scoring 44 total touchdowns. Which type of Super Bowl watcher are you? BALTIMORE - Josh Allen beat out two-time winner Lamar Jackson for the NFL’s Most Valuable Player award Thursday, but Ravens fans will be happy to know that Tom Brady’s vote went to Baltimore’s quarterback. It was the closest race since Matt Ryan beat Brady in 2016. Brady, a three-time NFL MVP, praised Jackson, the all-time leading rusher for a quarterback, for taking his passing abilities to another level this season. "Forty-one touchdown passes and only four interceptions.

Time to give Lamar the respect he deserves as a passer," Brady said in a FOX Sports post online. "Congrats to Lamar on a season that could very well end up with his third career MVP award."

The multiple-time Super Bowl champion selected Lamar Jackson as his top choice, but in the end, it was his second pick, Josh Allen, who took home the award.

Beyond his top two selections, Brady’s third choice for MVP was Saquon Barkley, the Philadelphia Eagles running back set to play in Super Bowl LIX against the Chiefs. Barkley was also a popular third-choice pick among other reporters, including Dianna Russini and Mike Florio. For his fourth and fifth picks, Brady was one of the few to cast a vote for Ja’Marr Chase—only four people included the Bengals receiver in their selections. His fifth and final vote went to Joe Burrow, who received multiple votes from other reporters, though mostly as a third or fourth option. Brady knows that the MVP award is almost always won by a quarterback, but by including Saquon Barkley, he’s sending a message to other running backs that it’s also possible to make it into... It also highlights the perspective of a former player like him in the voting process.

Josh Allen won the MVP award for the first time in his career Now that the season awards have been handed out at the NFL Honors, only the most important trophies remain to be decided: the Super Bowl and the Super Bowl MVP. With Josh Allen's victory over Lamar Jackson for the MVP, Allen became the first Bills player since Thurman Thomas in 1991 to win the award, and also the third player since the award's inception... I think the deciding factor in the end was that Allen and the Bills beat Jackson and the Ravens in the divisional round. Even though the playoffs don't count in the voting, Allen's win seemed to be taken into account this time. Also, only one non-quarterback has won the award since Tom Brady won in 2007 (Adrian Peterson in 2012), so maybe they should just make it a quarterback-only award and another for the rest of...

This year's voting was extremely close, in fact the closest since 2016 when Matt Ryan beat out Tom Brady. Allen received 27 of the 50 votes, while Lamar received the other 23. The AP revealed who the 50 voters picked for MVP. These voters ranked five players from first to fifth, with first place receiving 10 points, second place receiving 5 points, third place receiving 3 points, fourth place receiving 2 points, and fifth place receiving... Notable voters included Tom Brady, Tony Dungy, Mike Tirico, Kay Adams, Tedy Bruschi and Dan Orlovsky. Tom Brady, who will be attending his 11th Super Bowl but his first as a broadcaster, voted for Lamar Jackson, with Josh Allen second, Saquon Barkley third, followed by Ja'Marr Chase and Joe Burrow.

Brady has won the NFL Most Valuable Player Award three times in his career (2007, 2010 and 2017), surpassed only by Aaron Rodgers (4) and Peyton Manning (5). Had Jackson won this year, he would have joined Brady as a three-time MVP, but this time a statistically superior season didn't help him. Jackson became the first quarterback ever to throw for 4,000 yards and rush for 800 yards in a single season, finishing with 4,172 passing yards, 41 touchdowns and four interceptions, along with 915 rushing... But in the end, none of that mattered as Allen took home the trophy. As for Allen, who has put together five straight phenomenal seasons, he threw for 3,731 yards with 28 touchdowns and six interceptions. He also rushed for 531 yards and 12 more scores.

He became the first player in league history to have 25 touchdown passes, 10 rushing scores and fewer than 10 interceptions in a season. He extended his own NFL record for consecutive seasons with 40 passing/rushing touchdowns (five). He also led an offense that tied an NFL record with 13 different players catching touchdown passes, proving he can lead anyone and elevate his teammates. CINCINNATI – Joe Burrow finished fourth in MVP balloting, which announced Thursday night at the NFL Honors ceremony in New Orleans. But he wasn’t the only Cincinnati Bengals player who received votes. Four of the 50 voters included Ja’Marr Chase on their ballots, including arguably the biggest name on the panel.

Three-time MVP Tom Brady listed Chase fourth on his ballot, one spot ahead of Burrow. Each of the 50 voters ranked their MVP choices from first to fifth and the Associated Press tallied the scores, awarding 10 for first place, five for second, three for third, two for fourth... Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was named MVP of the 2024 season at the NFL Honors in New Orleans Thursday evening. In one of the closest MVP finishes in NFL history, Allen narrowly edged out Baltimore Ravens’ star Lamar Jackson for the award. When all 50 ballots were counted, Allen received 27 first-place votes and finished with 383 points to take home the hardware. But did the GOAT co-sign Allen’s achievement?

Last season, when Jackson won his second MVP, Allen finished fifth in the vote despite throwing for 4,306 yards and scoring 44 total touchdowns.
