Kings Of The League: Who Has Won The Most NFL MVPs?

The Most Valuable Player Award is given to the standout player of the NFL regular season. Winning it once is a massive achievement, with multiple honors indicating a player's true legendary status in the sport. Peyton Manning boasts the most MVPs in league history with five, sharing his first with Steve McNair before collecting the honor again in 2004, 2008, 2009, and 2013. Aaron Rodgers won his first MVP in 2011 after throwing 45 touchdowns before winning the award in 2015 and going back-to-back in 2020 and 2021. Fellow Green Bay Packers legend Brett Favre received three consecutive MVP awards from 1995 to 1997, the last of which was shared with Barry Sanders. In comparison to his all-time leading seven Super Bowl triumphs, Tom Brady was awarded the MVP just three times, in 2007 when he led the New England Patriots to a 16-0 record, in 2010, and in 2017. Johnny Unitas was the first quarterback to win the award in 1959, before adding two further MVPs in 1964 and 1967. Former Cleveland Browns star running back Jim Brown captured back-to-back MVPs in 1957 and 1958, before winning the award again in 1965. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is one of five players to win two MVP awards alongside Lamar Jackson, Steve Young, Joe Montana, and Kurt Warner.
