NFL analysis: Myles Garrett set to make history as MVP talk hots up
Cleveland Browns’ Myles Garrett is on course to break one of the NFL’s most talked-about records this season, but why is he not in the conversation for the league’s MVP?
As it stands, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is a short-priced favourite - just 4/9 with Unibet - to be named the league’s best player.
There is no doubt that Stafford is having a standout campaign, and few believe he will not take the crown, even at this stage.
But could this be the year we see a non-QB take the honours, something almost unheard of in the modern-day NFL?
