Most Valuable Players
Each Superbowl has a player that wins the MVP award, for most valuable player. We dive deep into that player, looking at the early years, playing career, and life off the field.
The Super Bowl MVP (Most Valuable Player) is typically determined based on the following criteria:
- Performance: The MVP is usually awarded to a player who had a standout performance during the Super Bowl. This often includes statistical achievements like passing yards, touchdown passes, rushing yards, receptions, sacks, interceptions, and key plays that impact the game’s outcome.
- Impact: The player’s impact on the game is crucial. This involves considering not just the quantity of plays but also their quality. Players who make game-changing plays, such as scoring touchdowns, crucial passes, or game-saving defensive actions, are more likely to be considered.
- Leadership: Leadership and composure under pressure are essential. Quarterbacks are often favored because of their leadership role and their ability to control the game. However, other positions, such as defensive players or running backs, can also demonstrate leadership and have a significant impact on the game.
- Game Result: The MVP is typically chosen from the winning team. While players on the losing team can have outstanding performances, the MVP award is usually given to a player from the championship team.
- Media Votes: Media members, including sports writers and broadcasters, play a significant role in selecting the Super Bowl MVP. They vote on the MVP based on their observations and analysis of the game.
- Fan and Player Vote: In some cases, there may be a fan or player vote for the MVP. These votes may carry less weight than the media vote but can influence the decision.
- Historical Context: The player’s performance is often evaluated in the context of Super Bowl history. If a player breaks a Super Bowl record or achieves a significant milestone, it can boost their MVP candidacy.
- Panel Decision: Ultimately, the MVP is decided by a panel of media members or representatives of the NFL, who consider all of the above factors to make their decision.
It’s important to note that the criteria for determining the Super Bowl MVP can vary slightly from year to year, and there is room for some subjectivity in the selection process. Different Super Bowl games may prioritize different aspects of performance based on the nature of the game and the standout moments that occur.
