The NFL Pro Bowl Games may have looked like all fun and games, but really … it was.
The top players once again faced off in low-stakes competitions to see who would be awarded bragging rights for the year, from skills competitions to Tug-of-War to flag football (spoiler: the NFC took it with an overall score of 64-59).
The precursor to Super Bowl week was also an opportunity for FOX Sports’ NFC South reporter Greg Auman to gift fans with the fourth edition of the Pro Bowl Confidential, a quick and fun survey featuring anonymous answers from players on topics ranging from football to travel to pop culture.
This year, 35 players participated (the highest yet) and provided their answers to evergreen questions. One question players are asked each year is: Who’s your MVP? And, while many of the Pro-Bowlers were in agreement on the 2023-24 offensive MVP, the defensive answer had a bit more variety.
Check out the result below, along with Auman’s thoughts!
Question: Who’s your offensive MVP?
Answer: RavensQBLamar Jackson (by a landslide)

Auman: This is the third year we’ve asked players for their MVP picks, and Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson had the most dominant showing of any player in those three seasons. After leading Baltimore to the AFC Championship Game, he was the choice for 21 of the 35 players, often framed as “it’s got to be Lamar” or “easy one: Lamar.”
The only other players to land multiple votes were 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (4), Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (3) and 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (2), with five others getting single votes: Bills quarterback Josh Allen, Browns pass-rusher Myles Garrett, Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud.
The tally:
Lamar Jackson, Ravens: 21
Christian McCaffrey, 49ers: 4
Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs: 3
Brock Purdy, 49ers: 2
Josh Allen, Bills: 1
Myles Garrett, Browns: 1
