Bills quarterback Josh Allen has been named the Pro Football Writers Association’s Most Improved Player for his impressive third season in the NFL. Allen is the first Buffalo Bills player to win this award since the PFWA started it in 2000.
Allen quarterbacked an offense who saw their average in points per game increase from 19.6 last season to 31.3 this season, which ranked second best in the league. In 2020, his offense also averaged the second-most yards per game (396.4) and third-most passing yards per game (288.8), which is a large improvement from ranking 24th in total yards (330.2) and 26th in passing yards (201.8) during the 2019 season.

The Young Bull s tenacity, competitive drive, and elite athleticism has been seen first hand by all Tide Hoop fans when he blessed Coleman Coliseum with no look dimes, killer crossovers, and an abundance of buckets.
These weren t empty flashes of brilliance either. Sexton would help quench a six-year tournament drought in 2018 while taking home honors such as SEC Rookie of the Year, All- SEC Team, and All-SEC Tourney selections.

There was one postponement and one delayed tipoff, but otherwise the NBA schedule stayed full and somewhat fun on the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day extravaganza, highlighted by a potential Eastern Conference finals preview between the Nets and the Bucks.
When the day turned into night and the results were finalized, there was a solid debut in Houston, an uplifting Memphis win against the Suns spurred by Ja Morant, a thrilling finish in Brooklyn, where the Nets had one superstar too many for the Bucks, and Golden State’s wild comeback over the defending champs.
PRINCE Caperal of Barangay Ginebra won the Most Improved Player award of the PBA 45th season.
Caperal beat Justin Chua and Jason Perkins of Phoenix, Raul Soyud of NLEX, Reynel Hugnatan of Meralco, and Javee Mocon of Rain or Shine for the plum which was formally made official during simple rites on Sunday done in virtual form.
Stepping out of the shadows of Greg Slaughter who took a sabbatical during the 2020 season, Caperal followed in the footsteps of Scottie Thompson, Elmer Lago, and Pido Jarencio as Ginebra players who captured the Most Improved Player award.
