Super Bowl MVPs: Who Has Shaped The History of The Big Game?

From Bart Starr to Patrick Mahomes, we tell you all you need to know about the players who have left their indelible mark on the records of the NFL. 

In America, few events can match the excitement that the Super Bowl generates. According to Nielsen, out of the 10 most watched broadcasts of all time, 8 are Super Bowl games. Only historic, once-in-a-lifetime events like the Apollo 11 Moon landing and Richard Nixon’s resignation speech have received as many viewers as The Big Game.

Because of this, the Super Bowl has become about more than football. Driven by its celebrity-populated halftime show, it offers the most coveted spots for brands–its advertisements becoming prestigious status symbols worth millions and millions of dollars. 

But, amidst all this fanfare, who are those who have made this game what it is? Who are those players who, through blood, sweat, and tears, have written some of football’s most remarkable stories?

For the avid fan, our NFL Predictions are a must-read.

Some moments are impossible to forget, like Eli Manning wrestling to free himself from the defenders, throwing a seemingly impossible pass, which was followed by a “helmet catch” by David Tyree, or Tom Brady’s stewardship of the New England Patriots to an epic comeback against the Atlanta Falcons. 

These prowesses made both Manning and Brady recipients of the Super Bowl Most Valuable Player Award, a list formed by several legends who are considered some of the best players in football’s history. 

The award’s winner is decided, largely, by a panel of sixteen football commentators, both writers and broadcasters, who account for 80 per cent of the vote. The other 20 per cent of the votes come from the viewers.
