JaMarr Chase Baker Mayfield and Travis Hunter spark new MVP debate as non favorites take the lead (Image via Getty) The 2025 NFL MVP talk is heating up, and it's not just about the big names like Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen. This year, a few surprising players have entered the conversation. Wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase, two-way rookie Travis Hunter, and experienced quarterback Baker Mayfield are now being called 'dark horses' for the award. Fans are shocked. How did these three end up in the MVP race? What did they do to earn this spotlight? Their journeys are different, but all three have shown something special that's now hard to ignore. Ja'Marr Chase Travis Hunter and Baker Mayfield listed as MVP dark horses for 2025 On June 17, 2025, and various other sites focused on Ja'Marr Chase, Travis Hunter, and Baker Mayfield as dark horse candidates for the 2025 MVP race. Ja'Marr Chase is a talented wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals who had a solid 2024 season with some monster catches and massive yards even as the team struggled. His current MVP odds are +10000, a pretty uncommon spot for a wide receiver. Travis Hunter, the rookie phenom selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars in April 2025 shocked many by being on that list of potential MVP candidates. Travis Hunter, only 21, plays on both sides of the ball — wide receiver and cornerback — something no one has done in the league at this level in recent years.

He passed for 4,500 yards and 41 touchdowns, with a 71.4% pass completion percentage. He finished at +3300 odds for MVP. Experts believe that if Baker Mayfield leads the Bucs to a strong playoff run, he could surprise everyone in the MVP race.

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson also praised Travis Hunter's 'high football IQ and non-stop motor.'

Tom Brady shocks everyone by laughing at Bill Belichick's private moment with Jordon Hudson caught on doorbell
Tom Brady shocks everyone by laughing at Bill Belichick's private moment with Jordon Hudson caught on doorbell (Image via Getty) Retired quarterback Tom Brady made a surprising comment during a Netflix roast in May 2024. He talked about his favorite 'Ring'—not a Super Bowl ring, but a Ring doorbell. People paused. How could a Ring camera beat seven championship rings? The answer lies in a late‑night moment. A camera captured legendary coach Bill Belichick sneaking out of a home at 6 a.m. That clip went viral fast. Tom Brady laughed and praised Bill Belichick. Now fans everywhere are talking. What really happened and why did Tom Brady choose that moment as his favorite? Tom Brady praises Bill Belichick caught on ring footage At The Greatest Roast of All Time in May 2024, Tom Brady, 46, joked on Netflix about the famous Ring camera video. He said his favorite 'Ring' was the one that recorded Bill Belichick leaving Jordon Hudson's home at 6 a.m. in November 2023. Tom Brady said, 'Hey you still got it Bill respect baby.' His words echoed around social media and news wasn't a serious jab. Instead, it sounded like playful respect from Tom Brady to his former coach, calling him 'metis' at that moment. Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson ring camera story explained In November 2023, a Ring doorbell camera outside a Massachusetts Airbnb filmed shirtless Bill Belichick, 72, leaving the home early in the morning. It shocked people nationwide. That house belonged to his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, a former college cheerleader aged 24. Soon after, podcaster Pablo Torre investigated. He tracked Airbnb, rented it, and even found a second Ring video of Bill Belichick carrying a satchel and water bottle. Pablo Torre talked with the homeowners. They said they first thought his companion might be 'a dancer or an escort' because she told them she danced, and the age gap raised eyebrows. Their findings confirmed the clip dated from November 2023. The novel video, the age difference between Bill Belichick and Jordan Hudson, and the odd early‑morning exit sparked intense online attention. The mix of privacy, curiosity, and humor turned the Ring video into a cultural moment. That is why Tom Brady singled it out as his favorite 'Ring.'
