Jacksonville coach Gus Bradley, a former defensive coordinator, had no problem endorsing Texans defensive end J.J. Watt for the NFL Most Valuable Player Award.

On the Jaguars’ conference call with the Houston media today, a reporter told Bradley he hated to put him on the spot, but what does he think about Watt being an MVP candidate?

“I don’t think that’s putting me on the spot,” he said. “That’s an easy question to answer. I think he’s extremely deserving watching him on tape and just the impact that he has.

“I always judge it by if he’s internally motivated. You know, does he want to be the best? You put a check mark by him in that category. And then does he elevate everybody around him to a higher level, and he does that, so put another check by his name.

“I think when you have a guy like that, that elevates people, that is internally motivated, those players are special, and they don’t come around very often. He has those traits, and then all of the statistics that back it up, as well. I think he’s extremely deserving.”
