With two weeks left in the season, the NFL MVP debate is expected to come down to the wire. Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts, Josh Allen and Joe Burrow are among the players who could separate themselves from the rest of the pack with a strong finish.
However, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan believes one San Francisco player belongs in the discussion. He thinks defensive end Nick Bosa, who might be the favorite for defensive player of the year, should get MVP consideration.
“It’s always tough with quarterbacks, with how big of a deal quarterbacks are to their teams and the league, and how great some of them are, so they do usually get it,” Shanahan said. “But, the other position that’s so impactful is pash rushers.”
