ESPY Awards 2010:Best NFL Player

 Top 1 ESPY Awards: Best NFL Player 

The nominees for Best NFL Player are Drew Brees, Brett Favre, Chris Johnson, Peyton Manning, Darrelle Revis, and Charles Woodson,


Charles Woodson, though, won Defensive Player of the Year. He had 9 interceptions and returned 3 for touchdowns. He had the game-changing ability helped make Green Bay's defense second overall in the league.

Darelle Revis was so good last year, the receiver he was covering was known to being on "Revis Island." This means that there is no way the quarterback is finding that receiver. Revis consistently held team's number one receivers to low statistics. This ability allowed New York Jets head coach, Rex Ryan, to be very blitz happy, knowing that the opposing team's best receiver was in good hands.

Brett Favre came back for a season with the Minnesota Vikings. He was one ill-advised throw in the NFC Championship Game from possibly being in the Super Bowl. He threw an uncharacteristically low 7 interceptions the entire season, compared to 33 touchdown passes.





Drew Brees is the Super Bowl MVP and had a fantastic regular season, completing over 70% of his passes attempted, and broke the record held by .05%. He threw 34 touchdown passes, too.


Chris Johnson rushed for over 2000 yards rushing this year and broke the single-season record for yards from scrimmage, previously held by Marshall Faulk. He had 14 touchdowns on the ground. However, he did not receive one vote to win the MVP.

Peyton Manning won the league's MVP. He completed approximately 68% of his throws and threw 33 touchdowns. He led a group of young receivers, surrounded by Reggie Wayne and Dallas Clark, all the way to the Super Bowl.
