  • Seven players have won the NFL and Super Bowl MVP.
  • The first player to win both awards was Bart Starr in 1966, who also won the first Super Bowl.
  • The most recent player to win both awards was Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes in 2022 and Super Bowl 57.

There aren’t many better seasons a player can have than winning not only the league MVP but also taking home Super Bowl MVP honours that same season. Heading into the Super Bowl, players of this calibre will only bolster their football odds for the big game. 

Today, you can bet on Super Bowl odds at the BetMGM online sportsbook.

Below, I’ll examine all players who have won the league and Super Bowl MVP awards in the same season.
