NFL player poll: Bills’ Josh Allen will win an MVP, Taylor Swift is good for the league

NFL pundits make their opinions known on a daily basis, but what do the players think of their peers and other storylines around the league?

A player poll was recently conducted by The Athletic and published Wednesday, covering a range of topics in the NFL on and off the field.

“I feel like he’s due for one,” one player who picked Allen told The Athletic. “I don’t know when, but he’s going to get one.”

Is Taylor Swift’s NFL presence been a positive for the league?

Yes: 72.5%
No: 4.9%
Neither: 22.5%

An overwhelming majority players voted that Swift’s presence in the NFL has been positive, with one player saying that he thinks it’s been a boost “for the league.”
