Last year, Bills quarterback Josh Allen won both the NFL Most Valuable Player and the Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award. This year, Allen is nominated for the Rooney Award again — and so is this year's MVP favorite.

Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is also a nominee for the Rooney Award, and he's favored to win the first MVP of his career.

Here's the list of the 32 nominees:
