Joe Burrow And C.J. Uzomah Named By PFWA As Bengals’ MVP And Media Cooperation Winners For 2021 Respectively

On 18th Jan. 2022, the Cincinnati Chapter of the Pro Football Writers of America named QB Joe Burrow as the Bengals’ 2021 Most Valuable Player and TE C.J. Uzomah as the recipient of the organization’s annual Media Cooperation award.

The award marks the first MVP for Joe Burrow, who’s in his second season out of LSU.

According to the Chapter President Paul Dehner Jr., picking Joe Burrow was easy.

Paul Dehner Jr. said;

“Picking Burrow might be the easiest decision in the history of this award. Beyond the gaudy stats, his comeback from the knee injury and leadership off the field made him the complete package in living up to the substantial hype as a franchise game-changer.”

Joe Burrow finished as the top-graded quarterback in the AFC, and led the NFL in yards per attempt and completion percentage while setting a franchise record for passing yards and touchdowns.

On the other hand, C.J Uzomah, who’s in his seventh season, is the 21st recipient of the PFWA’s Media Cooperation award (formerly known as “Good Guy”), given for professionalism and respect working with media and understanding the media’s role in covering the team.
