Introduction
The National Football League’s Most Valuable Player award is given annually to the league’s top player. The award was established in 1957, and since that time, it has been given to some of the greatest players in NFL history. Players from all positions are eligible to win the award, and the selection process is based on a vote by a panel of sportswriters and broadcasters.
The NFL MVP is typically announced in early February, after the conclusion of the regular season. The award ceremony is usually held at a major event such as the Super Bowl or Pro Bowl.
History of the NFL MVP
The National Football League Most Valuable Player Award (NFL MVP) is an award given by various news and sports organizations to the most valuable player in the National Football League (NFL). The winner is usually selected by a panel of sportswriters and announcers at the end of the NFL regular season, but has also been determined by popular vote of fans. The inaugural award was presented to running back Jay Berwanger in 1935.
The NFL MVP has been awarded annually since 1957. In some years, one or more players share the award; for example, in 1997, both Brett Favre and Barry Sanders were named co-MVPs. From 1960 to 1969, the same player (Dick Butkus, Larry Csonka, Earl Morrall, O. J. Simpson) was selected three times. In 1986,Pro Football Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor became the first defensive player to win the award in its 30-year history.
Since its inception, eight quarterbacks have been selected as NFL MVP more than once: Peyton Manning (5), Johnny Unitas (3), Brett Favre (3), Tom Brady(3), Steve Young(2), Jim Brown(2), Kurt Warner(2), and Aaron Rodgers(2). Sixteen running backs have also been selected more than once: LaDainian Tomlinson (2), Emmitt Smith (2), Adrian Peterson (2), Marshall Faulk(2), Marcus Allen(2) O.J Simpson(2) Earl Campbell(1AFC) , Thurman Thomas(1AFC) Ernie Nevers((1929)) Roger Craig((1988 NFC)) Ozzie Newsome((1985 AFC)) Franco Harris((1972)) Marcus Allen((1985 AFC)) John Riggins((1983 NFC)) Shaun Alexander((2005 NFC)) LaDainian Tomlinson ((2006 AFC))LT ((1986 NFC)) Adrian Peterson ((2008 NFC: Offensive Player of the Year; 2009 NFC: Offensive Player ))
How the NFL MVP is Chosen
The National Football League’s Most Valuable Player Award (MVP) is an award given by various media outlets to the player who is considered the most valuable player in the National Football League (NFL). The award was established in the 1957 NFL season and has been awarded annually since then. It is given by members of the media at the end of each NFL season.
There are several different ways that the MVP can be chosen. The most common method is for a panel of sportswriters and broadcasters who cover the NFL to vote on the winner. This panel consists of 50 people who vote for first, second, and third place choices. Each first-place vote is worth three points, each second-place vote is worth two points, and each third-place vote is worth one point. The player who receives the most points is named the MVP.
Another way that the MVP can be chosen is through a fan vote. This method was used from 1986 to 1988 and again in 2011. In this method, fans are asked to cast their votes for the MVP online or through text messaging. The player who receives the most votes is named the MVP.
The NFL does not have an official MVP award, but it does give out an annual award called the Bert Bell Award to honor outstanding performance by a player during the regular season.
Who has won the NFL MVP?
Peyton Manning and Tom Brady have been the two most dominant quarterbacks of the last two decades. They have both won multiple Super Bowls and they have both been named the NFL’s Most Valuable Player (MVP) on multiple occasions. In fact, Manning and Brady have won the MVP award a total of five times each.
The MVP award is given out annually by the Associated Press (AP) to the player who is deemed to be the most valuable to his team. The award has been given out since 1957 and it is considered to be one of the most prestigious individual awards in all of professional sports.
Quarterbacks have won the MVP award a total of 30 times, which is more than any other position. Running backs have won the award 11 times, while wide receivers have won it five times. Only one defensive player has ever won the MVP award, and that was defensive end Lawrence Taylor who did so in 1986.
Some of the other notable players who have won the MVP award include running backs Adrian Peterson, Barry Sanders, and Emmitt Smith; wide receiver Jerry Rice; and quarterbacks Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers, Steve Young, and Johnny Unitas.
The MVP award is typically announced at some point in early February, so we should know who wins it this year in the next month or so.
What are the benefits of winning the NFL MVP?
The National Football League Most Valuable Player Award (NFL MVP) is an award given by various media outlets to the most valuable player in the National Football League (NFL). The winner receives the Bert Bell Award, which was established in 1957 and named after the former NFL commissioner.
Since the NFL began awarding the MVP award in 1961, it has been given to just four wide receivers, three of whom have played for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

He joins Jerry Rice (1987 and 1993), Michael Irvin (1991) and Lynn Swann (1974) as the only wide receivers to win the award.
