AP unanimously names Tom Brady NFL Most Valuable Player
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Athletes, Kudos, News, NFL,
New England Patriots QB Tom Brady was the first ever unanimous choice for AP NFL MVP. He last won the MVP award in 2007, that time receiving 49 of the 50 votes with one voter voting for Brett Favre. It was a no-brainer that Brady would win the award after putting up 3900 passing yards, throwing 36 touchdowns versus a minisclue four interceptions, and a stellar 111.0 QB Rating. He led the Patriots to a 14-2 record, but were quickly ousted by the New York Jets in the AFC divisional round. While the MVP award is sweet, it's still nothing compared to what Brady and the Patriots work for - a Super Bowl trophy.

Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Athletes, Kudos, News, NFL,
Detroit Lions defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh was named AP's Defensive Rookie of the Year after a season of 66 tackles and a position-leading 10 sacks. Suh received 48 of the 50 votes and was the first defensive lineman to win the award since Julius Peppers in 2002. Suh was also named an All-Pro and helped the Lions to a 6-10 season where they showed hope for the once pathetic franchise. With Suh anchoring the defense will be a big reason for the Lions if and when it happens. He was the first defensive player taken in the 2010 NFL Draft, going second overall after AP Offensive Rookie of the Year QB Sam Bradford.

Sam Bradford named AP Offensive Rookie of the Year
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Athletes, Kudos, News, NFL,
St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford was named the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year, which was very much warranted as his getting 44 of the 50 votes can attest to. Bradford took a 1-15 Rams team to the point of the playoffs in the 2010 season, and improving the team to a 7-9 record. He finished his season with 3512 passing yards, hitting on 60% of his passes, and throwing for 18 touchdowns versus 15 interceptions. The first overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft had some questions because of a shoulder injury in his last season with the Oklahoma Sooners. He is the fourth QB to win the AP Offensive Rooke of the Year since 2004.

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick won the AP Coach of the Year award for guiding his team to a league-best 14-2 record during the 2010 NFL season. However much success was had in the regular season, the Patriots failed to advance in the postseason, losing their first playoff game at home to the New York Jets. Regardless, Belichick is considered the standard for NFL head coaches and for valid reasons. This is the third time he's won the award, winning previously in 2003 and 2007.

Troy Polamalu named AP Defensive Player of the Year
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Athletes, Kudos, News, NFL,
Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back Troy Polamalu was named AP's Defensive Player of the Year, Green Bay Packers linebacker Clay Matthews came in a very close second, losing to Polamalu by two votes. Both players are game-changers and helped lead the top two defenses in the NFL to this year's Super Bowl. However, Polamalu is probably more of a versatile defender, able to sack the quarterback and come up with a big-time interception or hit. Also, Matthews is only in his second season in the NFL and will have many years to win the award.

Philadelphia Eagles QB Michael Vick finished second in the voting. Brady is the odds-on favorite to be named this past season's NFL MVP.
