Who won Most Valuable Player in the Super Bowl?
Who won the MVP in the Super Bowl? Once again, it was the Patrick Mahomes show in 2024. A relatively slow start led to just three points in the first half, but good thing they play four quarters, or nearly five with overtime play too.
- Patrick Mahomes stats in the Super Bowl: 73.9% comp. rate, 333 passing yards, 2 passing touchdowns, one interception, 66 rushing yards
Mahomes became the sixth player to win multiple Super Bowl MVP trophies and the first since Eli Manning in 2012. Yet, now he’s also just the third player to win three Super Bowl MVPs, joining Joe Montana and Tom Brady.
Who was the Super Bowl MVP last year? Before Mahomes won, we saw Los Angeles Rams receiver Cooper Kupp take home the MVP trophy in 2022. Mahomes will again be vying for it in Super Bowl LVIII against the San Francisco 49ers.
Who has won the most Super Bowl MVPs of all time?
Like most things in the NFL, life revolves around the quarterback. That’s no different when it comes to Super Bowl MVPs. Who won two Super Bowl MVPs? The only players to ever win multiple SB MVP awards are all quarterbacks, and yes, Tom Brady has more Super Bowl MVP trophies in his showcase than any other player in the history of the NFL, with five.
Here’s the full list of those with multiple MVP trophies:
- Tom Brady – 5
- Joe Montana – 3
- Patrick Mahomes – 3
- Terry Bradshaw – 2
- Bart Starr – 2
- Eli Manning – 2
It’s hard enough just to reach a Super Bowl, let alone win the game. But to be named the Most Valuable Player from the biggest game in football? That’s incredible. To be named MVP twice? Nearly unheard of.
