Prisen som NFLs Most Valuable Player er den fornemste titel, der uddeles hvert år.
Den er blevet uddelt siden 1957, og her kan du se samtlige vindere. Payton Manning er den eneste spiller, der fem gange har modtaget prisen.
Det er ofte angrebsspillere og især quarterbacks, der bliver kåret til MVP. Kun to gange er en forsvarsspiller blevet kåret til NFLs mest værdifulde spiller. Til gengæld vandt en kicker i 1982.
Fra 1960 til 1969 kårede AFL-ligaen sin egen MVP. Da NFL og AFL blev slået sammen efter 1969 blev der fundet en fælles. Du kan se AFLs MVP-vindere nederst.
