NFL MVP

Der NFL Most Valuable Player Award oder NFL Player Of The Year ist der Preis, der an den wertvollsten Spieler der National Football League vergeben wird. Die Auszeichnung wird jährlich durch die amerikanische Sportpresse vorgenommen. Da zwischen den einzelnen Presseorganen selten Einigkeit über den besten Spieler einer Saison besteht, kann es in einem Jahr mehrere Sieger geben. In den Jahren 1949 und 1950 fand keine Wahl statt. Die Tabelle berücksichigt auch die bis 1970 voneinander unabhängigen Ligen AFL (jetzt AFC) und NFL (jetzt NFC).
