2026 NFL Award Predictions: MVP, OPOY, DPOY and Every Major Honor
From MVP to Coach of the Year, here are my predictions for every major NFL award ahead of the 2026 season.
In the 2026 NFL season, Myles Garrett of the Rams is predicted to win the DPOY award, having had a record-breaking 23-sack season in Cleveland. The team has added Pro Bowl edge rusher Byron Young and interior forces Kobie Turner and Braden Fiske, making double teams less viable and allowing for more one-on-one matchups. If the defense is even slightly above average, the Bengals could win 12+ games and recapture the NFC North throne.
Aaron Rodgers, who is 42 years old, is still quarterbacking in the NFL. More surprising award winners of 2025 include A.J. Brown of the Patriots, Kyler Murray of the Vikings, and Matthew Stafford of the Lions, who put up the best numbers of his career.
