The other players are:
- Panthers LB Luke Kuechly
- Broncos QB Peyton Manning
- Eagles RB LeSean McCoy
- Seahawks QB Russell Wilson
Jamaal was more than a third of the Chiefs offense so there's no doubt he belongs on the list of finalists. As much as I know he deserves to win, I bet it goes to a quarterback like Manning or Wilson. Jamaal is arguably the most important non-QB to any team in the league, and even more valuable than a lot of QBs in the league. Unfortunately, I think the QB bias will take give this one to someone else. I'm happy to be surprised though!
I know this is a Chiefs blog so I know what the results will be ... but vote in our poll below.
