Basically the nation’s most prolific/stat-producing offensive player on a really good team.

I see it as:

Attack: QB/RB (almost always going to win it)
Middie: WR (not unprecedented - see DeVonta Smith - but need some gaudy numbers)
Goalie: Defensive player (likely need some outrageous numbers/hype. Not impossible [Te’o, Hutchinson came relatively close; Woodson won it but he wasn’t purely defense], but a lot would have to break right)
Defenseman: Offensive lineman (almost certainly never gonna happen, even if truly the best player in the sport/most deserving)

For the record, I feel like if a goalie is ever going to win one, Entenmann next year is probably the best chance. He’ll have a ton of hype/buzz heading into and lasting throughout the whole season (presuming his play stays at least at the level it was this season, if not even elevated a bit).
