Coors Light Hot Take

Former Wyoming QB Josh Allen may have the best arm in this year's draft, but arm strength doesn't neccessarily equate to success in the NFL. Short horizontal passes are the focus of most NFL offenses, so Allen's ability to throw the ball 80-yards is more impressive than useful at the next level. Draft evaluators need to be more focused on the film than pro day performances.
This week on Undisputed, Skip Bayless and Keyshawn Johnson share their thoughts on the NFL MVP odds for the upcoming season.
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes is the favorite, but Texans QB CJ Stroud is in second, right behind him.

Does Stroud deserve this amount of respect in just his second season? Both Bayless and Johnson agree that he does! Keyshawn makes the point that Stroud was in MVP consideration last year. So why not this season? The Texans added Stefon Diggs and Joe Mixon to Houston's already lethal offense.
