Steelers RB Jaylen Warren wins hilarious NFL award

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren enjoyed a career-high 188 yards from scrimmage, scoring two touchdowns against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 5. This stellar performance earned him not only a victory on the field but also an unusual accolade: the Week 5 Nickelodeon Valued Player (NVP) award. Warren received an NVP blimp trophy and a slime cap as part of his prize.

The award, known for its humorous nature, has become a popular topic of football memes, with some players earning it despite having less impressive statistics. The most notable instance was Mitch Trubisky, who was the first ever NVP winner despite throwing for only one touchdown and 199 passing yards, and his team losing in the NFC Wild Card playoff game.

Unlike Trubisky, Warren's NVP award was well-deserved, propelling him into the top conversation of NFL running backs as the Steelers' offense continues to gain momentum.
