Mid-season NFL awards (2024):

We’ve arrived at the mid-way point of the 2024 NFL season. Unlike most people, who still use week eight as the timestamp for that description, I think it should be pretty clear now that this is actually the exact moment to reflect with half of the 18 weeks down. Of course, only about half the league has had their bye weeks so far, so I will use per-game statistics rather than bring up total numbers for the most part, in order to be able to compare players more practically.

Just like I did in my full-season predictions, I’ll lay out the case for the top three candidates for each major AP NFL award. Then I also added my first- and second-team All-Pro teams if the year ended today, without further comment, since I will have discussed a large portion of the players listed and it would exceed the breadth of the exercise. Unfortunately, I had to exclude names like Aidan Hutchinson and Chris Godwin due to injuries.

Let’s get into it:

NFL 2020 midseason awards:

We have made it through the first eight weeks of the 2020 season and it’s time to hand out some trophies (not literally of course, since we have to wait until the year is over). I already did this when I predicted the entire season about a week before we kicked things off and a lot of the candidates I mentioned back then, you will here again, but at the same time, some guys have kind of come out of nowhere. For some of these categories, three names were enough, while for a few others I mentioned two more notables. So who have been my MVP, Defensive Player and Coach of the Year, among others, for the first half of the season? Plus, at the bottom I added my All-Pro teams at this point.

Also make sure to check out my detailed recap of NFL week eight.

NFL 2019 Midseason Awards:

We have surpassed week eight of the NFL regular season and as always it is time to reflect a little and hand out the biggest awards if the season ended today. So this is not a projection or prediction for what will happen, but rather who I would vote for as of right now. Obviously there are biases to the quarterback for the MVP or Rookie of the Year award, most of the decisions are largely based around statistics, since I don’t believe a lot of the voters are film-junkies necessarily, and they tend to spread, such as giving Coach of the Year to the hottest name or differentiating between MVP and Offensive Player of the Year. So I just picked the winners based on who I think best suits the descriptions and gave out three more names that I think should be in the discussion. Here is who I would vote for:
