The Associated Press NFL Most Valuable Player Award is presented annually by the Associated Press (AP) to a player in the National Football League (NFL) deemed to have been the "most valuable" in that year's regular season. While there have been many selectors of NFL MVPs in the past, today the MVP award presented by the AP is considered the de facto official NFL MVP award and the most prestigious. Since 2011, the NFL has held the annual NFL Honors ceremony to recognize the winner of each year's AP MVP award, along with other AP awards, such as the AP NFL Offensive Player of the Year and AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year. The most recent AP NFL MVP is quarterback Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers.

  • The Associated Press NFL Most Valuable Player Award is presented annually by the Associated Press (AP) to a player in the National Football League (NFL) deemed to have been the "most valuable" in that year's regular season. While there have been many selectors of NFL MVPs in the past, today the MVP award presented by the AP is considered the de facto official NFL MVP award and the most prestigious. Since 2011, the NFL has held the annual NFL Honors ceremony to recognize the winner of each year's AP MVP award, along with other AP awards, such as the AP NFL Offensive Player of the Year and AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year. The most recent AP NFL MVP is quarterback Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers. The AP has presented an award recognizing the NFL's top player since 1957. The award is voted upon by a panel of 50 sportswriters at the end of the regular season, before the playoffs, though the results are not announced to the public until the day before the Super Bowl. The sportswriters chosen regularly follow the NFL, and remain mostly consistent from year to year. They are chosen based on expertise and are independent of the league itself. Voters for the award have included Troy Aikman of Fox Sports; Cris Collinsworth and Tony Dungy of NBC Sports; and Herm Edwards of ESPN. Only two players in the history of the award have won it unanimously: New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady in 2010 and Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson in 2019. Due to voters' tendency to favor offensive positions, the award has been overwhelmingly dominated by offensive players; of the 57 undisputed winners, 54 played an offensive position: 38 quarterbacks and 16 running backs. Two defensive players have won the award: Alan Page in 1971 as a defensive tackle, and Lawrence Taylor as a linebacker in 1986. The sole special teams player to be named AP NFL MVP was Mark Moseley, who won as a placekicker in 1982. Thirteen awardees also won the Super Bowl (or NFL Championship Game prior to 1966) in the same season. However, this has not occurred since 1999, when MVP Kurt Warner won Super Bowl XXXIV with the St. Louis Rams. Since then, nine AP NFL MVPs have led their team to the Super Bowl and were defeated each time. This has led to tongue-in-cheek claims in recent years that there is a "curse" preventing the awardee's team from winning the Super Bowl. Seven NFL franchises have not produced an MVP, the New York Jets (not counting Joe Namath's two AFL MVPs), Houston Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars, Chicago/St. Louis/Phoenix/Arizona Cardinals, Philadelphia Eagles, New Orleans Saints, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Green Bay Packers have the most overall winners with ten; if including disputed awards (see below), the Colts would be tied with ten. The Green Bay Packers also have the most unique winners with five players winning the award. (en)
  • Le prix du joueur le plus remarquable de la NFL (MVP) est remis, chaque année depuis la saison 1957, par Associated Press (AP) à un joueur de la National Football League (NFL) ayant été "le plus utile" au cours de la saison régulière. Bien qu'il y ait eu de nombreux prix de NFL MVP décernés dans le passé, actuellement, celui présenté par l'AP est considéré de facto comme le prix officiel et le plus prestigieux. Depuis 2011, la NFL organise la cérémonie annuelle des récompenses de la NFL au cours de laquelle elle met en avant le vainqueur du prix du meilleur joueur de l'année. Elle y remet également d'autres prix AP tels que les meilleur joueur offensif NFL de l'année et le meilleur joueur défensif NFL de l'année. L'actuel MVP de la NFL est Aaron Rodgers, quarterback des Packers de Green Bay, lauréat pour la quatrième fois du trophée au terme de la saison régulière 2021 de la NFL. Le prix est attribué à la suite d'un vote effectué par un panel de 50 journalistes sportifs entre la fin de la saison régulière et le début des séries éliminatoires. Le résultat n'est annoncé au public que la veille du Super Bowl. Les journalistes sportifs choisis suivent régulièrement la NFL et restent généralement cohérents d’une année à l’autre. Ils sont choisis en fonction de leur expertise et sont indépendants de la Ligue elle-même. Les électeurs pour le prix incluent Troy Aikman de Fox Sports; Cris Collinsworth, Tony Dungy de NBC Sports et Herm Edwards d'ESPN. Seuls 2 joueurs ont été élus à l'unanimité (50 voix sur les 50 possibles): Tom Brady (saison 2010) et Lamar Jackson (saison 2019). Les électeurs ayant tendance à préférer les joueurs offensifs, l'attribution est largement dominée par ceux-ci. Parmi les 57 vainqueurs, 54 ont joué à une position offensive: 38 au poste de quarterback et 16 au poste de running back. Deux joueurs défensifs ont remporté le prix : Alan Page en 1971 en tant que defensive tackle et Lawrence Taylor en 1986 en tant que linebacker. Le seul joueur des équipes spéciales à avoir été élu NFL MVP est le kicker Mark Moseley, vainqueur en 1982. Trois joueurs ont remporté au cours de la même saison le trophée et la finale du championnat de la NFL (avant 1966). Dix joueurs ont remporté au cours de la même saison le trophée et le Super Bowl : Bart Starr en 1966, Terry Bradshaw en 1978, Mark Moseley en 1982, Lawrence Taylor en 1986, Joe Montana en 1989, Emmitt Smith en 1993, Steve Young en 1994, Brett Favre en 1996 Terrell Davis en 1998 et Kurt Warner en 1999. Cependant, depuis Kurt Warner en 1999, plus aucun NFL MVP n'a remporté le Super Bowl puisque les neuf récipiendaires qui y participaient ont été battus. Il n'en fallait pas plus pour que l'on parle d'une "malédiction" empêchant l'équipe du NFL MVP de remporter le Super Bowl au cours de la même saison. (fr)
