NFL MVP’s

On these two pages are the signatures of 28 players who won a total of 36 NFL Most Valuable Player Awards as given by the AP. The players range in date from Jim Brown who won his first of three MVPs in 1957 to Adrian Peterson in 2012 and in position from quarterbacks and running backs to defensive ends and even a kicker, Mark Moseley. The only one listed who did not win an AP MVP was Gino Marchetti, a Pro Football Hall of Famer in his own right who was named the MVP of the 1963 Pro Bowl.
