**”Feels Good!” Allen’s MVP Win Draws Praise From… Slick Rick?!**

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen edged out Lamar Jackson for the NFL MVP award at the NFL Honors ceremony[1][7]. The win, however, prompted an unexpected message of congratulations from a beloved figure within the Bills organization: mailroom employee Roderick “Slick Rick” Morrow.

Allen garnered 27 first-place votes and 383 total points, while Jackson received 23 first-place votes and 362 total[1]. Allen’s MVP title marks the third for the Bills franchise, following Thurman Thomas (1991) and O.J. Simpson (1973)[1][3].

Here’s why this is generating buzz:

* **Allen’s Achievement**: Allen’s MVP win follows an outstanding season with the Bills[1]. He threw 28 touchdowns and had a career-low of six interceptions[3]. He also ran for 12 touchdowns, becoming the first player in NFL history with consecutive seasons of at least 25 touchdown passes and 12 touchdown runs[3].
* **Allen’s Reaction**: “Feels good,” Allen remarked backstage after receiving the honor[1]. “I believe my teammates wanted this for me more than I did, and I’m truly honored”[1].
* **”Slick Rick’s” Message:** The exact content of Morrow’s message hasn’t been released, the beloved Bills’ employee undoubtedly shared his congratulations and pride in Allen’s accomplishments[1].

Allen was selected by the Bills as the seventh overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft[1]. There were doubts about his future due to his inaccuracy as a quarterback, but his skill set, particularly his powerful arm, made him an intriguing prospect[1]. Allen has indeed fulfilled the Bills’ aspirations[1].
