History tells us it’s very likely the MVP will be a quarterback.
Over the last 15 Super Bowls, nine winners have been a quarterback. So that’s six different winners who have not been a quarterback, including Ray Lewis (2001), Dexter Jackson (2003), Deion Branch (2005), Hines Ward (2006), Santonio Holmes (2009) and Malcolm Smith (2013).
By contrast, only three MVP winners in the regular season over the past 15 years have been non-quarterbacks (Shaun Alexander, LaDainian Tomlinson and Adrian Peterson).
