Trevor Lawrence Emerges as NFL MVP Dark Horse

Trevor Lawrence is a dark horse candidate for the NFL MVP award in 2026. He is among the top nine candidates, alongside Jalen Hurts, according to NFL experts.

The odds of Trevor Lawrence winning the MVP award are not among the top 10 in DraftKings' MVP odds as of June 9.

The favorites for the MVP award include Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, and Josh Allen, who have dominated the award in recent years.

The last time a non-QB won the MVP award was in 2012, when Adrian Peterson won it.

To win the MVP award, a player needs to have historic production and a successful season, with their team having a winning record.

Trevor Lawrence will need to have a record-breaking season to be considered a leading MVP contender.

The Falcons' new quarterback, potentially Tua Tagovailoa, may affect Trevor Lawrence's chances.

If no clear-cut MVP favorites emerge by mid-December, Trevor Lawrence may have a chance to win the award.

He would need to have a record-breaking season, with the Falcons making their first trip to the playoffs in nearly a decade.

Trevor Lawrence came within 212 yards of setting the single-season scrimmage yards record in 2025.

The NFC South does not have a dominant team, which may give the Falcons a chance to succeed.
