Not surprisingly, the UFL has announced that Birmingham Stallions QB Adrian Martinez has won the MVP award from the 2024 season. After leading the Stallions to a 9-1 record, this nomination felt like a no brainer.

Adrian Martinez had a sensational season with Birmingham. He finished the year with 1,741 passing yards and 15 touchdowns, throwing just three interceptions. Martinez also led the UFL in rushing, with 528 yards. He averaged 9.8 YPC, and scored three rushing touchdowns.
Despite splitting time with Matt Corral for a good portion of the 2024 season in the first half, Martinez pulled away as QB1 for this team, and it proved to be the right move by HC Skip Holtz.
Now, Martinez and the Stallions are poised to fight for a third straight championship, after their win over Michigan this weekend.
MVP Nominees: QB Adrian Martinez (Stallions), QB Luis Perez (Renegades), WR Hakeem Butler (Battlehawks), DT Carlos Davis (Stallions), DE Breeland Speaks (Panthers), LB Tavante Beckett (Brahmas)
