SUPER BOWL MOST VALUABLE PLAYER AWARD
(Redirected from Super Bowl MVP)
The 'Super Bowl Most Valuable Player' or 'Super Bowl MVP', is an award given at the conclusion of the Super Bowl, the National Football League's championship game, to the player deemed to have made the most significant positive impact on the outcome of the game. Currently, the winner is chosen by a panel of members of the media, and the fans. The media panel's ballots count for 80% of the votes while the fans' ballots count for 20%. The fans may vote online during the game.[1] Prior to Super Bowl XXXV, only the media panel selected the MVP.[2]
Unsurprisingly, the MVP has traditionally come from the winning team. Chuck Howley (Super Bowl V MVP) is the only MVP from the losing team. Most MVPs are offensive players playing at positions that score touchdowns: quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers. Of the 42 Super Bowl MVPs, only 8 defensive players (2 of them co-MVPs) have won the recognition. Only once has a special teams player (kick returner Desmond Howard) won the honor. Joe Montana holds the record for earning this honor the most times with three MVPs.
Since Super Bowl XXV, the Super Bowl MVP is awarded the 'Pete Rozelle Trophy',[3] named after the former commissioner of the NFL who served from 1960 to 1989. Currently, the award is sponsored by Cadillac. The winner is presented with a brand new Cadillac automobile of his choice. In previous years, the Super Bowl MVP was awarded a brand new Buick automobile, or a watch.
Only four colleges can claim to have produced three Super Bowl MVPs. They are the Universities of Georgia (Jake Scott (VII), Terrell Davis (XXXII), and Hines Ward (XL)), Alabama (Bart Starr (I, II) and Joe Namath (III)), Michigan (Desmond Howard (XXXI) and Tom Brady (XXXVI, XXXVIII)), and Notre Dame (Joe Montana (XVI, XIX, XXIV)).
