Super Bowl 49: Who Will Be MVP?
Remember that one time when the Seattle Seahawks beat the Denver Broncos 43-8 in the Super Bowl? Pretty fun game, if I remember correctly. The ‘Hawks were a dominant force throughout, steamrolling the second-best football team in the world en route to a blowout win. After the game, Malcolm Smith was named MVP.

It wasn’t necessarily a controversial pick, since Smith had a great game, but it seemed unusual to many that the game’s top individual award went to an otherwise-unheralded linebacker. It wasn’t like Smith was the only Seahawk who had a good game, and he certainly didn’t have the profile of so many other Seattle players. Yet there he was, hoisting his trophy high.
We’re days away from the Super Bowl, and if all goes right there will be celebrations in Seattle for the second year in a row. Celebrations in Seattle means a Seahawk wins MVP. And so long as that’s something that could happen, it’s our duty to speculate on who could put themselves in position to win the big game’s big award.
Remember, of course, that there are 53 guys on the Seahawks’ roster who could be named MVP. Remember that Malcolm Smith won it last year, and so who knows, maybe this year it goes to Tharold Simon or something. That would be a lot of fun, but for our purposes let’s just look at the guys who seem to have the inside track.
