That is 93.5% of all MVP winners have been chosen by the media.

So who exactly are these members of the media who get to choose who wins this prestigious award? According to the NFL website, there are 50 voters for this award. These 50 voters come from all different forms of media including newspapers, magazines, online media, radio, and television. All of these different types of media are represented by at least one voter.

The NFL website lists five voters from television, five voters from newspapers or wire services, four voters from online media outlets, three voters from radio stations, and two each from both magazines and clubs’ public relations departments. The final spot is a rotating spot that goes to different groups such as fans, former players, or even head coaches.
