JJ Watt Makes Case for Surprising MVP Candidate

The former NFL defensive end drops some major insight for a name that hasn’t been brought up as much as it should.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes are the usual names mentioned when discussing NFL MVP candidates. However, former Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt wonders why running back Kenneth Walker hasn't been considered. During an appearance on "NFL on CBS," Watt questioned why Walker's name hasn't been included in the MVP conversation.

Walker, who has been instrumental in Kansas City's offense, has made significant improvements since joining the Chiefs. His addition has enhanced the team's play-action game, leading to numerous positive outcomes. Watt praised Walker's impact, stating that he has transformed the offense. Following a bye week, the Chiefs are set to take on the Los Angeles Chargers, and Walker is prepared for the upcoming game.

Walker told Sports Illustrated that he appreciated the rest from the bye week, allowing him to recuperate and return to his routine.
