Vikings' Justin Jefferson wins NFL Offensive Player of the Year Award

PHOENIX — Justin Jefferson was named the Associated Press' Offensive Player of the Year at the 12th annual NFL Honors ceremony on Thursday night, becoming just the fifth wide receiver to win the award after a vaunted third NFL season with the Vikings that even earned him top-5 votes for Most Valuable Player.

The other top vote-getters for Offensive Player of the Year were the two Super Bowl quarterbacks — the Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes and the Eagles' Jalen Hurts — and the Dolphins' Tyreek Hill, an electric receiver in his own right.

Justin Jefferson received 35 first-place votes and 192 points in the ranked-choice voting system, finishing ahead of Mahomes, who had 10 first-place votes and 75 points.
