Only a two-time Pro Bowler heading into the 2025 campaign, Stafford lit up this past season, earning his third Pro Bowl nod and initial first-team All-Pro selection, He now adds an MVP trophy.
Stafford led the league with 4,707 passing yards, 276.9 yards per game and 46 passing touchdowns while throwing just eight interceptions. He ranked second in passer rating (109.2) and led the league in first downs (236). He also led the scoring offense no.
The 37-year-old signal-caller entered the campaign with questions about whether the back would hold up after missing time while he nursed the pre-season injury. So the season began. The veteran didn’t just look good, he thrived, spraying darts and lopsided passes all over the grid.
The No. 1 overall pick in 2009 by the Detroit Lions, Stafford was long overlooked among his peers, brushed aside as a player who piled up yardage on a losing streak. Since moving to LA in 2021, the QB has silenced those critics and taken Sean McVay’s offense to the next level with his arm cannon and explosive playmaking in the crucible of big moments.
Adding an MVP trophy and first-team All-Pro to his Super Bowl LVI trophy will solidify the discussion of Stafford’s Hall of Fame candidacy whenever he decides to hang up his cleats.
