UPDATE: Calvin Johnson has just confirmed that an NFL MVP award could be the deciding factor for Matthew Stafford’s Hall of Fame chances. Speaking to TMZ Sports, Johnson emphasized that Stafford’s current form is making waves as he approaches the end of his career.
Johnson, Stafford’s former teammate with the Detroit Lions, stated that the quarterback “looks easy” on the field this season. With only five games left in the regular season and the Los Angeles Rams competing neck-and-neck with the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers—each holding 9 wins—Stafford has a clear opportunity to solidify his MVP candidacy.
Despite a challenging game against the Carolina Panthers last Sunday, where Stafford threw his first interception since Week 3 in a 31-28 loss, Johnson remains optimistic. “He’s playing good football,” Johnson said, praising the Rams’ offensive line and receiving corps.
As the 37-year-old quarterback approaches retirement, the stakes rise. “Matthew has Hall of Fame talent, 100%,” Johnson asserted, noting that Stafford’s Super Bowl victory last season adds significant weight to his legacy. “He did it in his first year with a better culture and a better team,” Johnson added, underscoring Stafford’s resilience after leaving Detroit.
Johnson believes that if Stafford secures the MVP title this season, his Hall of Fame induction becomes undeniable. With a competitive playoff race ahead, all eyes are on Stafford and the Rams as they aim for a strong finish.
Stay tuned for the latest updates on Stafford’s performance and potential MVP run as the NFL season progresses!
