Wait, Travis Etienne got an Offensive Player of the Year vote??

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. had a pretty solid 2023 season.

While it wasn’t enough to earn him a spot in the 2024 Pro Bowl Games, Etienne eclipsed 1,000 rushing yards and added 58 receptions for 476 yards. His 12 touchdowns were tied for the 11th most in the NFL.

But it’s hard to understand how his year managed to earn him a vote for NFL Offensive Player of the Year.

Only eight players received votes with San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey leading the way and earning the award. Down at the bottom of the results was Etienne, who received a third-place vote.

Travis Etienne 0-0-1 = 1
