Most Valuable Player: Jayce Tuck
Through half the season there have been plenty of whopping statlines. Boss putting up 2455 yards and a 101.3 passer rating, Winchester returning to S1 form with 42 pancakes and 0 sacks allowed, and Dominic Verns with 70 tackles and 4 picks. But Tuck's season tops them all. This man has recorded 21 sacks in 7 games. He's on pace for FORTY-TWO sacks, which is almost twice what he put up last season in a season that won him both the PA MVP and the HO MVP. He is tied for the lead in tackles for loss with 10, and has 50 tackles on the season. To put that into proportion, next highest defensive end in tackles has 38. 3 sacks a game is absolutely incredible and Tuck should easily repeat.
Offensive Player of the Year: Mike Boss
The Boss has put up jaw-dropping numbers so far. He's thrown 17 touchdowns and only 4 picks, along with the highest passer rating the NSFL has ever seen. He's leading the league in every major QB statistic other than least interceptions thrown. He's put two OCO receivers at the very top of receiving yardage totals. And the fact is that the Otters offense also has 11 rushing touchdowns, leading the league. His offense is scoring 32.3 points per game, which is second in the league, only by 1 point. Boss is averaging 350 passing yards per game, which is incredible. It's a solid debate, but Boss is the best offensive player in the league.
Defensive Player of the Year: Jayce Tuck
This one is quite straightforward. Of course, the same as everything I've listed above. But since the MVP factors in team success more than the DPOY award, you could see the MVP as the best player on a playoff team, and the DPOY as the best defensive player flat out. Of course, Tuck is on the best team in the league in the Outlaws, but he is also putting up 3 sacks a game while competing with Dam, King, Luechly, and Ernston for sacks. To imagine a player with 21 sacks in 7 games with a pass rush that great is mind-boggling.
Offensive Rookie of the Year: Trey Willie
This one is a rather easy pick for me. Willie has 634 receiving yards. The next closest rookie to that total has 334 yards, meaning that Trey Willie has almost double the amount of receiving yards than his closest competition. He's stepped up in a huge way for the Hawks, who selected him in the second round at #10 after he fell. Willie assumes a greater level of responsibility after Cooper Christmas went IA and Matthew Vincent retired. From here on out, Willie is their main wide receiver, and he's clearly showing that right now, with 230 more receiving yards than the next best Hawks receiver.
Defensive Rookie of the Year: William Ridley
Ridley went in the third round. The Liberty were expecting a young player who would develop in the league and find his footing in the first seasons. It's safe to say they've been completely blown away by the production they've got out of Ridley. Ridley is:
2nd among rookies in tackles
1st among rookies in tackles for loss
Tied for 1st among rookies in sacks
He's been a complete hawk on the field, in a Liberty defense that is one of the better units in the league. The Liberty are hoping to be competitive in S3, but a big turnaround must happen for that to take place. And Ridley is one of the main guys surrounding the Liberty's success.
Breakout Player of the Year: Alexandre LeClair
After a rather disappointing S2 campaign for the two-year vet, LeClair was looking to bounce back in big ways. Recently moving up in the depth chart following Stormblessed's departure from the site and the team, LeClair is Berc's go-to guy and it's showing up big time. LeClair is one of the only guys on the Legion Berc can trust to make big plays happen, and LeClair is certainly showing it. He leads the league in receptions with 43 and is a key cog in the Legion offense. He's nearly surpassed the S2 total for receiving yards at the halfway point, and is on pace for 1300+ receiving yards.
GMs of the Year: Roshambo and Molarpistols
This GM duo started out their S3 offseason in the draft, where they made some tremendous picks. They got Julian O'Sullivan at #6, and he has turned out to be extremely active and a productive member of the Otters defense. The Otters needed to fill the void left by Franklin Harris Jr. and did so. Then they got Erlich Burnsman at 13. Despite Burnsman's low TPE total, he's been performing well so far in the Jenkins/Burnsman duo, and is actually getting more touches between the two. At #22, they went out and got Jimmy Cox, who is well-known around various other leagues and has shown commitment by joining the updating team. They also picked up J.D. Boom and Jonathan King, who are very talented and keep producing for the Otters. They won the draft and their team is performing in a huge way.
