While being elected to the Pro Bowl 7 times in his 1st 8 seasons, and earning 2nd Team All-Pro honors last year, the MVP award has alluded Wilson up to this point. In fact, he’s never even received a single vote for MVP. Despite all of 2020’s woes, maybe Wilson can bring the trophy home this year. ESPN’s bold prediction for this season is that Wilson will be the winner. According to Vegas odds heading into the season, Russell has the 3rd best odds.
