Josh Allen named NFL MVP for 2024 season

Josh Allen has been named the NFL's Most Valuable Player for the 2024 season.

It is the first time the Buffalo Bills quarterback has won the award, with the 27-year-old being selected ahead of 2023 winner Lamar Jackson.

"I'd like to thank the Bills organisation - [owners] Kerry and Kim Pegula, [general manager] Brandon Beane, [head coach] Sean McDermott," said Allen.

"Thank you guys for drafting me seven-and-a-half years ago. It feels just like yesterday, it really does.

"I know this is an individual award and it says Most Valuable Player on it but I think it's derived from team success and I love my team.

"We've got such a great locker room at Buffalo. It truly takes everybody to have team success and I'm so fortunate to beat part of a great organisation.

"I'd like to thank my parents. In my 20-plus years of playing football, they've missed maybe 15 games in their entire life. They are so dedicated to supporting me and my favourite team-mates, who are my sister, my brother and my little sister.

"I love you guys, I know you take a lot of pride in this as well, and last but not least my fiancee Hailee. You've been my rock, my best friend, and I would not be standing on this stage if it weren't for you."
