Who Was the NFL MVP in 2016?

The answer to this question is Cam Newton. He was the NFL MVP in 2016.

Tom Brady

Tom Brady was the NFL MVP in 2016. He is a quarterback for the New England Patriots. He has played in the NFL for 18 seasons.

New England Patriots

Tom Brady, in full Thomas Edward Patrick Brady, Jr., (born August 3, 1977, San Mateo, California, U.S.), American professional gridiron football quarterback who is among the most successful and honoured players in National Football League (NFL) history. He helped the Patriots win six of the nine Super Bowls that they have contested (2002, 2004, 2005, 2015, 2017, and 2019), a record for quarterbacks.

Brady grew up in northern California idolizing Montana—a three-time NFL Most Valuable Player (MVP) who led the San Francisco 49ers to four Super Bowl victories. Brady’s father took him to see Montana play in person when Brady was a boy. After leading Juniperro Serra High School to several league championships in football and baseball, Brady enrolled at the University of Michigan. Although he started infrequently during his first two years with the Wolverines and even considered transferring to another school before his junior season began, he ultimately became one of Michigan’s most accomplished quarterbacks ever.

During his college career Brady set dozens of passing records—including most touchdown passes in a game (five), season (28), and career (77)—and led Michigan to victory in the 2000 Orange Bowl over Alabama. He was taken by the New England Patriots as the 199th overall pick in the 2000 NFL draft—an extremely low position for a quarterback with his credentials—and served as a reserve player for most of his rookie year as Bledsoe started 16 games for New England that season. In 2001 Bledsoe was injured during a game against the New York Jets late in the year, however, and Brady stepped in as starting quarterback for the Patriots’ final game of the regular season as well as their playoff run that year—which culminated with their first-ever Super Bowl victory over heavily favoured St. Louis Rams on February 3, 2002.

Suspension

In 2016, Tom Brady was suspended for four games by the NFL for his involvement in the Deflategate scandal. This suspension was later overturned by a federal judge.

Matt Ryan

In 2016, the NFL MVP was Matt Ryan of the Atlanta Falcons. Ryan had an outstanding season, throwing for 4,944 yards and 38 touchdowns. He led the Falcons to an NFC Championship and a berth in Super Bowl LI.

Atlanta Falcons

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan was named the 2016 NFL MVP on Saturday night at the NFL Honors awards show in Houston. Ryan received 49 of 50 first-place votes and 410 total points in voting by a nationwide panel of media members. New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was the only other player to receive a first-place vote, while Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott finished third in the voting.

Super Bowl

The Super Bowl is the biggest and most important game in the NFL. It’s the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL). The game is played by the two conference champions, who each qualified by winning their respective conference championship games. The winner of the Super Bowl receives the Lombardi Trophy, which is named after former Green Bay Packers head coach Vince Lombardi.

Ezekiel Elliott

Elliott had a terrific 2016 season. He led the NFL in rushing yards (1,631), total touchdowns (15), and was second in rushing touchdowns (13). Elliott also caught 58 passes for 413 yards, and had a total of 2,247 yards from scrimmage. He averaged 5.1 yards per carry, and helped the Cowboys to the best record in the NFL (13-3).

Dallas Cowboys

Elliott had a stellar rookie season in the NFL, leading the league in rushing yards (1,631) and rushing touchdowns (15). He also caught 32 passes for 363 yards and one touchdown. Elliott’s impressive performance helped the Cowboys to a 13-3 record and the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs.

Rookie

Ezekiel Elliott was a football superstar long before he ever set foot on an NFL field. As a five-star recruit, he helped lead his high school team to a state championship and was named the USA Today High School Offensive Player of the Year. He went on to have an incredible career at Ohio State, winning the Big Ten Conference Championship twice and being named a First Team All-American in 2015.

Entering the 2016 NFL Draft, Elliott was widely considered to be one of the best running back prospects in years. He was drafted fourth overall by the Dallas Cowboys and immediately lived up to the hype, rushing for 1,631 yards and 15 touchdowns in his rookie season. He was named the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year and helped lead the Cowboys to a division title. In 2017, he broke Walter Payton’s single-season rushing record for a Dallas Cowboy with 1,994 yards.
