It’s going to Myles Garrett but we appreciate the gesture lol
I’m about to spam “rigged” all over Twitter when Myles Garrett (rightfully) wins.
Oh the guy who made Josh Allen fumble in 2/3 plays to win the divisional round? No big deal.
Probably won’t get it but it’s okay he will get the Super Bowl mvp
Hell of a season for him. If he didn’t have that down stretch of games he’s right up there around 17.5-20 sacks
Nice, but that dude in Toledo? Akron? Um…well, somewhere in Ohio is going to win it, and if it’s not unanimous I will be surprised.
Him being a finalist while not getting all pro is kinda funny to me.
Look its gotta go to Myles for the record. But there’s something to be said about being the most dominant defensive player of a generation and never winning anything. At some point you’ve gotta question does his production actually influence games. I get there’s only so much he can do. But when hes on a bad team and can guiltlessly all out rush and never worry about cage rushing or filling a lane some of his sacks definitely feel empty. I feel like if we told Bonitto to do a ghost rush on every single snap he plays he could get quite a few more sacks. Doesnt mean we’d win more games.
If it’s anybody but Myles Garrett then that’s just wrong, but Bonitto deserves his flowers for a remarkable year. Stoked on the future of this team!
But no all pro? It’s ok myles can have this, Bonitto bout to get SMVP
We know who is getting it. But at least he was recognized.
