Kellen Winslow wins beat writers MVP vote

Tight end Kellen Winslow won the annual St. Petersburg Times most valuable player vote.

Each year, we ask writers who regularly cover the team for local media in an informal poll who their team MVP is. Winslow won in a close vote. Most noted that Winslow was the most consistent player on the team as he finished with 77 catches for 884 yards. Even when the offense was horrific, he oftentimes was a bright spot.

Second place went to -- and this may surprise you -- quarterback Josh Freeman. The rationale from those who voted for him: That he was the biggest contributor in the team's three wins. Frankly, that's difficult to argue. And even in some losses, he was the one who gave the team a chance to win. His numbers probably sunk his chances of winning, but there's no arguing the fact that he turned in a few performances to build on.
