Tom Brady reveals his ‘definite’ favorite for NFL MVP entering final stretch of regular season

As we enter Week 16 of the 2023 NFL season, two players from the San Francisco 49ers are among the favorites to win MVP: Quarterback Brock Purdy, and running back Christian McCaffrey. A non-quarterback hasn’t won NFL MVP since 2012, and sure enough, Purdy is the heavy favorite to win this year at -230, per Caesars Sportsbook. McCaffrey has the third-shortest odds at +550 behind Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (+525).

The star running back joined Tom Brady to talk ball on a recent episode of his “Let’s Go!” podcast, and the GOAT said that McCaffrey is “definitely” the MVP favorite in his opinion. 

“I remember the first time I actually got a glimpse of Christian was in the Rose Bowl,” Brady said, via NBC Sports. “He caught an angle pass against Iowa and ran for about a 75-yard touchdown. I was like, ‘Well, they’re not gonna catch him!’ … He was a dynamic player then. He is a dynamic player now, and I think all of what he’s done this year is a lot what he’s done in the past. It’s a different team with some different opportunities and they’ve been really dynamic on offense.”
