Acho argues that Wilson definitely needs to win an MVP award to go down as an all-time NFL great. The likes of Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, and even Ben Roethlisberger rank higher than Wilson as per Acho. The seasoned NFL shot-caller needs to win that honor in order to be considered an ‘elite’ great.

“For me, the number one and important thing is the winning part. The MVPs and stuff like and hopefully the votes — maybe I’ll get one, one day — but the reality is that I wake up to win it all and I wake up to be the best, too. I’m not going to shy away from that. If I do win MVP, it’s because we’re going great as a team and guys are making plays and we’re all doing it together. Hopefully, we can do that this year,” Wilson has said in a conversation with NFL Insider Jason La Canfora.
