The favorite to win the NFL’s Coach of the Year award is a big fan of the favorite to win the NFL’s Most Valuable Player award.
Lions coach Dan Campbell said today that he considers Bills quarterback Josh Allen one of the most physically impressive quarterbacks in football, but perhaps even more impressive in his competitive approach to the game.
“He’s big, he’s strong, he’s fast, he’s explosive, and he’s competitive,” Campbell said. “He’s got all these attributes, physical attributes, but it’s what’s inside of him. He’s the ultimate competitor. That’s what separates him from a lot of guys. He’s fearless and it’s why those guys play the way they do for him, because he just won’t give it up, he’s not gonna give it up and he’s gonna do whatever it takes to get the next first down, or get the touchdown, and when they need him in crunch time he’s gonna show up, and he just won’t give up. I think that’s what makes him who he is, his competitiveness.”
Campbell is a -175 favorite to win Coach of the Year, and Allen is a -400 favorite to win MVP. Their teams face off on Sunday as they each march toward the playoffs. And perhaps a rematch in the Super Bowl.
