With just one-third of the NFL season left, we can already start making our predictions for all the awards.
Things usually change on a weekly basis, but we still have more than enough information to make our picks.
With that in mind, former NFL player Emmanuel Acho took to “Speak” to share his early ballot, and he had some interesting choices.

At No. 5, unsurprisingly, he chose Lamar Jackson, who’s leading the Baltimore Ravens’ new-look offense and proving to be one of the best passers in the game, even despite what the doubters have to say.
Jackson has excelled in the pocket, and while he’s obviously still mobile and doing a lot of damage with his feet, he’s been excellent with his arm as well, developing strong chemistry with rookie Zay Flowers.
Then, he made a bold pick by choosing an offensive lineman: Trent Williams.
Williams is perhaps the best offensive lineman in the game, and the San Francisco 49ers are undefeated when he’s been able to play.
He propels the offense and allows Kyle Shanahan’s set of stars to be at their best on every snap.
Then, he chose Miami Dolphins star Tua Tagovailoa, who continues to post video-game-like numbers.
Nonetheless, we still need to see him be at his best against winning teams.
Patrick Mahomes got the nod at No. 2.
He continues to be the best quarterback in the game, but he’s struggling to lead the team with a subpar supporting cast.
Last but not least, he chose Jalen Hurts, who’s the best player on the best team in the league, so that one is pretty self-explanatory.
