All the other NFL MVP front-runners have at least one established star to catch passes during the 2022 season. Green Bay Packers have quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
First, if Rodgers wins MVP during the upcoming season, it would be his third consecutive triumph. Fellow Packers legend Brett Favre is the only other player in NFL history with three consecutive MVPs.
When Rodgers won MVP in 2020 and 2021, Davante Adams caught 238 passes for 2,927 yards and 29 touchdowns. Obviously, Adams will be catching passes this season from Raiders quarterback Derek Carr and Rodgers will be leaning on a new-but-not-necessarily-improved group of pass-catchers.
Rodgers emerged from the five-man pack
Rodgers emerged from the five-man pack of Favre, Brady, Jim Brown and Johnny Unitas as three-time MVPs.
