During each of the last three seasons, a second-year quarterback has held the pole position for the NFL's MVP award at the halfway point of the season.
In 2017, Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz was lapping the field as he guided the eventual Super Bowl champions. Only a torn ACL kept him from going on to win the award.
A year later, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw 50 touchdowns and was named MVP following his second season. Then, this past year, second-year quarterback Lamar Jackson earned the honor.
