On September 2nd, all right, let's talk about some early predictions for next year's NFL awards based on what we've seen in the preseason. For offensive rookie of the year, the buzz is around KC Conceptsion. We've seen Wider-Cever's snag this award three times in the last five years, and Conceptsion looks like he could be the next playmaker. He's been getting open consistently and shows serious potential, especially with how the offense is being designed. Now, shifting to the defensive side. Keep an eye on Ruben Bain for defensive rookie of the year. The bookeneers are aiming to bring back that physical identity, and Bain embodies that. He's got an incredible motor and has been putting in extra work. After putting up double digits sacks in college, he's poised to do the same in his first year with Tampa Bay. For defensive player of the year, my pick is Kyle Hamilton from the Ravens. He's at three time all pro who can play multiple positions in the secondary and even at linebacker, with a new defensive coordinator who knows how to use versatile players.

Hamilton is set to have a huge year, making a lot of plays. And for the big one, MVP, I'm going with Miles Garrett. With some veteran help joining the Rams, the pressure will be off him. He has the talent to replicate what Lawrence Taylor did back in 1986, winning MVP and leading his team to the Super Bowl. Some might argue, Garrett should have been in the MVP conversation last year with his 23 sacks, but the team's record held him back. This year, with a stronger supporting cast and the Super Bowl in Los Angeles, it feels like the narrative is set for him to take home the MVP trophy. From around the league, powered by AI, this is NFL News Today.
