Three Minnesota Vikings players have earned MVP honors in the team’s 60-season history.
Most recently, it was Adrian Peterson, who disemboweled defenses for 2,097 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns in 2012. To date, he is the last non-quarterback to win the MVP award. All recipients since were quarterbacks. In 1975, Fran Tarkenton won the honor, accruing Pro Bowl and All-Pro recognition along the way. The first Vikings player to win an MVP was Alan Page, who was the league’s best player in 1971. Like Peterson’s uniqueness, Page is the only defensive lineman to win an NFL MVP
