Welcome to the Ringer NFL show. I'm your host, Shield Capadia. It's time for a little MVP check-in. Now, some people will tell you it's too early to talk MVP, and those people would be wrong. I mean, we're a third of the way through the season. Football's supposed to be fun. Everyone relax. We can talk about MVP. So this is a predictable award. MVP goes to quarterbacks on the one or the two

seed who put up big stats. That's it. That's the qualification. So I've got three tiers here.

Tier three, the long shots. These are guys with odds at plus 3,000 or higher. Tier two, you have

my attention. These are guys with odds at plus 1,000 or higher. And tier one,

the favorites. These are guys with odds below plus 1,000. So my guest today is the ringers Deonté Lee.

We talk about who we like, lay out the case for a bunch of the candidates. And Deonté just poured

cold water on a popular pick right now.

That was just incredible, incredible take from him.

So really fun conversation with Deontay.

We'll get to it after the break on the Ringer NFL show.
