The Super Bowl Most Valuable Player Award, or Super Bowl MVP, is an award presented annually to the most valuable player of the Super Bowl, the National Football League's (NFL) championship game. The MVP is awarded the Pete Rozelle Trophy by the NFL commissioner and given a free car.
Three different Green Bay Packers have been awarded the Super Bowl MVP. Bart Starr was the MVP of Super Bowl I and II, return specialist Desmond Howard was given the honor at Super Bowl XXXI, and quarterback Aaron Rodgers was named at Super Bowl XLV.
Voting
Currently, the winner is chosen by a combination of two scores:
- A panel of 16 American football writers and broadcasters vote after the game, which accounts for 80 percent of the total vote tally.
- A fan vote during the game will account for the other 20 percent.
History
Since the first Super Bowl was held in 1967 to determine the 1966 season champions, the MVP award has been given to 41 players. From 1967 to 1989, the Super Bowl MVP was presented by SPORT magazine. Green Bay Packers quarterback Bart Starr was the MVP of the first two Super Bowls.
Since 1990, the award has been presented by the NFL. At Super Bowl XXV, the league first awarded the Pete Rozelle Trophy, named after the former NFL commissioner, to the Super Bowl MVP. Ottis Anderson of the New York Giants was the first to win the trophy. The most recent Super Bowl MVP was Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who was named the MVP of Super Bowl LVI.
