Aaron Donald has won NFL Defensive Player of the Year three times. He’s a six-time All-Pro and seven-time Pro Bowler, destined for the Pro Football Hall of Fame one day. One honor he hasn’t received is NFL MVP – an award that’s almost reserved for quarterbacks and running backs.

Donald would love to win it this year, as would one bettor.


According to BetMGM, someone put $500 on Donald to win MVP this season. At +20000, that would pay out $100,000 if the Rams defensive tackle winds up bringing home the hardware. He would be the first defensive player to win it since Lawrence Taylor did in 1986.
