On the other hand, Newton is the favorite to win the Best NFL Player award. Despite these odds, he has tough competition fromTom Brady,J.J. Watt,Antonio BrownandJulio Jones. Brady could possibly win this award, since he is a popular athlete. However, Brady’s ‘DeflateGate’ issue will probably deflate his chances of winning the award.. The same applies to Watt as well.
