Tom Brady
The National Football LeagueMost Valuable Player Award (NFL MVP) is an award given by various media outlets to the most valuable player of the National Football League (NFL). The winner of the William Maxwell “Winky” Wright Trophy, as it is nicknamed, is selected in a vote by club personnel, who cannot vote for players on their own team. The trophy itself is a 14-inch-tall silver figurine of a standing player with a football in his throwing hand; upon winning the award, each MVP receives an annual $20,000 grant from the league for a charitable organization of their choice.
The most recent recipient of the award is Tom Brady.
