New on Sports Illustrated: NFL Awards 2019: The MMQB’s Picks for MVP, Coach of the Year and More

There’s a runaway pick for this season’s MVP, but what about coach of the year or offensive rookie of the year? The MMQB’s voters cast their ballots.

The nine-member MMQB/Sports Illustrated panel have cast their ballots voting for the annual MMQB NFL honors. Unlike the AP awards, we do a top-five ballot for every award (top 10 for MVP), awarding points on a 5-4-3-2-1 basis. The candidate who receives the highest number of points in voting is deemed the winner.

Here are our 2019 award winners for eight different NFL honors.
