Jamie Dukes, one of the hosts of NFL HQ on NFL Network, believes that if Cam Newton wants to repeat as the MVP, he has to go through Eli Manning.
Dukes listed New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning as the stiffest competition in the run for Most Valuable Player in 2016. Here’s his explanation:
“Eli Manning could be that guy. Think of the pieces that they’ve had, ‘cause it’s about the pieces they’ve had. Here you have a team that’s desperate, and they’ve been desperate for a while. Eli’s going to put up big numbers… Because he plays in New York, I think that all the attention’s going to be there on him and I think he’s going to have the opportunity to win it.
