Seahawks' Bobby Wagner receives one MVP vote

Seattle Seahawks star inside linebacker Bobby Wagner is making a case to be recognized as the best player at his position. 

In a surprising revelation, Wagner received one MVP vote despite playing in 11 of the Seahawks' 16 regular season games due to a toe injury.

It is a curious development, with Houston Texans superstar defensive end J.J. Watt winning Defensive Player of the Year in an unanimous vote. 

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was named MVP for the second time in his career.

Wagner recorded 104 tackles and two sacks for the Seahawks. Upon returning to the lineup from his toe injury, the Seahawks rattled off six consecutive victories to end the regular season.

Seattle will play the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLIX. Wagner was the lone Seahawks player to garner MVP consideration. 

The 24-year-old was named a Pro Bowler and first-team All-Pro for the first time in his career.
