The annual NFL Honors awards show is set for Saturday at 8 p.m. ET. There, the league will hand out various awards to players for the 2016 season on the evening before Super Bowl 51, featuring the Atlanta Falcons and New England Patriots.

The event will be broadcast by FOX and hosted by Keegan-Michael Key. The whole show will also be streamed live online via Fox Sports GO, just like the Super Bowl itself.

Of course, the biggest award will be the MVP trophy, expected to go this year to one of the top-performing quarterbacks, including Matt Ryan and Tom Brady, who will face off in the Super Bowl less than 24 hours later. Aaron Rodgers has also been in the MVP discussion.

Awards voted on by the Associated Press include MVP, Coach of the Year, Comeback Player of the Year, Offensive and Defensive Rookie of the Year, Offensive and Defensive Player of the Year, and the Sportsmanship Award.

The NFL has its own awards it hands out where fan voting is factored into the equation, including Rookie of the Year — which went to Dak Prescott — and FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Year.

The rookie of the year awards should be pretty interesting. Ezekiel Elliott of the Dallas Cowboys should be named the frontrunner, but that would mean he earns the award over teammate Prescott, who was also excellent. Joey Bosa only played in 12 games but seems to have the defensive rookie of the year award locked up.

In addition to a number of awards, the Hall of Fame Class of 2017 will also be announced. Finalists include Brian Dawkins, Jason Taylor, LaDainian Tomlinson, Morten Andersen, Don Coryell, Kurt Warner, Terrell Davis, Isaac Bruce, Terrell Owens, Tony Boselli, Alan Faneca, Joe Jacoby, Ty Law, John Lynch, and Kevin Mawae.
