Finalists for eight of The Associated Press' 2024 NFL awards, including the five players in contention for MVP, were revealed on Thursday.
Finalists were determined through the The AP's voting system, which was revamped in 2022 and asks voters to rank their top five picks for MVP and the top three for other awards. The winners will be announced at the 14th annual NFL Honors ceremony on Feb. 6, which will air live at 9 p.m. ET on FOX and NFL Network and stream on NFL+.
