The NFL MVP award is almost exclusively an award for players at the quarterback position, which is, without a doubt, the most important position on the field at all times.
Even though the award is given to quarterbacks more often than not, the 2023 NFL season might be a bit different, with no quarterback in the league being the obvious choice to win the regular-season award.
Fortunately, there are two players at other skill positions who are having MVP-caliber seasons, with Christian McCaffrey having an incredible season in his first full year with the San Francisco 49ers and Tyreek Hill putting on a show as the best player for the Miami Dolphins.
Despite the obvious MVP cases for Brock Purdy and Tua Tagovailoa, who are definitely in the running to win the award, there’s no way either player is half as good without McCaffrey and Hill, respectively, helping shoulder the load offensively.
Ross Tucker of CBS Sports makes the case that McCaffrey and Hill should be in the running for MVP, via “The Jim Rome Show.”

At this point, it remains uncertain if McCaffrey and Hill can do enough to be put ahead of MVP candidates like Purdy, Jalen Hurts, and Dak Prescott with only a few games left in the regular season.
There’s no question that these two superstars at running back and wide receiver should be in the conversation, but only time will tell if they’ll ultimately get serious consideration when the time comes to put it to a vote.
