Coming off back-to-back MVP awards, Aaron Rodgers is the betting co-favorite to win the award again in 2022 at Caesars Sportsbook.

Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes both have 7-1 odds in the wake of Super Bowl LVI.

The pair are followed by Josh Allen (9-1), Joe Burrow (12-1), Justin Herbert (14-1) and Matthew Stafford (15-1).

Despite retiring, Tom Brady is listed at 45-1.

Cooper Kupp capped off his historic 2021 season with 92 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-winning score, to earn MVP honors in Super Bowl LVI.

The Los Angeles Rams edged the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 on Sunday night. Matthew Stafford delivered the winning strike to Kupp with 1:25 left in regulation.

Kupp had to carry more of a load after Odell Beckham, Jr. suffered a knee injury in the first half. He became only the second player to win the receiving triple crown, NFL Offensive Player of the Year and Super Bowl MVP, joining Jerry Rice.

For the first time since 2012, a first-time eligible finalist was not selected for enshrinement into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

The Class of 2022 includes Tony Boselli, LeRoy Butler, Sam Mills, Richard Seymour and Bryant Young as modern-era enshrinees.

Cliff Branch, who was the seniors finalist, Art McNally (contributor finalist) and Dick Vermeil were also selected for enshrinement.

The class will be formally honored in early August in Canton, Ohio.

Notable first-year-eligible candidates who will need to wait at least another year included DeMarcus Ware, Andre Johnson and Devin Hester.

T.J. Watt has been named the 2021 NFL Defensive Player of the Year.

Watt received 42 first-place votes, beating out Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons (five first-place votes) and Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald (three first-place votes). Donald had won the award in three of the previous four years and bested Watt 27-20 in first-place votes last year.

J.J. Watt, a three-time NFL defensive player of the year, presented T.J. with the award.

Watt finished the season with 22 ½ sacks. Watt had 49 tackles, 21 for loss and registered 39 quarterback hits, all in 15 games as he battled through hip and groin injuries for much of the season.

Cooper Kupp was voted the 2021 AP NFL Offensive Player of the Year on Thursday during NFL Honors. He's only the third wideout to earn the award.

Kupp tallied 35 of a possible 50 votes with Jonathan Taylor finishing runner-up with 10 votes. Tom Brady (three) and Aaron Rodgers (two) received votes, as well.

Kupp's 145 catches and 1,947 receiving yards were the second-highest totals in league history. 

Aaron Rodgers won his fourth career NFL MVP and his second consecutive one on Thursday evening. Rodgers has now won MVP for the 2011, 2014, 2020 and 2021 seasons.

Only Peyton Manning has won five MVPs, and it was Manning who handed Rodgers the award onstage at the NFL Honors awards show in Los Angeles. 

"They're all different," he said. "The first one was really, really special because we came off winning the Super Bowl and I had my best season to date that next year. It seemed like we were a juggernaut chugging along and going to win another one. That obviously didn't happen. The divisional round disappointment. But they've all been unique in their own ways. I think the latest one always feels the sweetest."

Rodgers received 39 votes while Tom Brady received 10 and Cooper Krupp received one.

The AFC edged the NFC 41-35 in Sunday afternoon's Pro Bowl.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert and Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby were named the MVPs.

Herbert went 7-for-11 for 98 yards with two TD passes and an interception.

Crosby had three batted passes and a sack.
