2019 NFL Season Awards

Here are my awards for the 2019 NFL season.

MVP: Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens: Jackson had a sensational second season in the league after many people questioned if he can be a successful quarterback in the league. He led the Ravens to an incredible 14-2 record, although they laid an egg in their home playoff defeat against the Tennessee Titans. I think Jackson could still succeed for the next decade, although his game is based with his legs despite his improved passing.
Runner up: Russell Wilson, Seattle Seahawks

Offensive Player of the Year: Jackson. See: MVP.
Runner up: Derrick Henry, Tennessee Titans

Defensive Player of the Year: Nick Bosa, San Francisco 49ers: There are some interesting candidates for this award and I think Bosa has been super impressive, let alone as a rookie. He is a transcendent talent and a big part of the Niners being this good and into the Super Bowl.
Runner up: Stephon Gilmore, New England Patriots

Offensive Rookie of the Year: Josh Jacobs, Oakland Raiders: Jacobs has had a great rookie season, despite not being healthy at the end of the season. Before his injury, he helped a Raiders team that was dealing with in house turmoil with the Antonio Brown situation stay relevant and in the playoff hunt in December.
Runner up: Kyler Murray, Arizona Cardinals

Defensive Rookie of the Year: Bosa. See: Defensive Player of the Year.
Runner up: Ed Oliver, Buffalo Bills

Coach of the Year: Kyle Shanahan, San Francisco 49ers: Not many teams can say they went from having the second overall pick in the draft to the Super Bowl. Enter the 2019 San Francisco 49ers. Shanahan has done an outstanding job handling his team this season and helping develop Jimmy Garappolo into the quarterback he's become.
Runner up: John Harbaugh, Baltimore Ravens

Comeback Player of the Year: Jimmy Garappolo, San Francisco 49ers: When Garappolo came over in a trade over two seasons ago and took over the Niners starting quarterback job, they became a different team. Last season, he tore his ACL and it ruined any hope the Niners had of being successful. He comes back this season and plays very well helping lead his team to the Super Bowl.
Runner up: Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers
