Rookie QB Jayden Daniels isn't the NFL MVP favorite yet, but he's getting closer
The only time a rookie has won NFL MVP was back in 1957. The winner was Jim Brown, arguably the greatest player in history. Last season, Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud was the rare rookie who found himself in the race. He trailed off, and it seemed like it would be a long time before a rookie again made any waves in the MVP race.
