The finalists are determined by a voting system designated by the news agency AP, which asks its voters to rate their top five players for MVP and three for the other awards, including Coach of the Year.
The winners, as mentioned above, will be announced at the NFL Honors, which will be held at the Saenger Theater in New Orleans, the host city of Super Bowl LIX.
