The past 11 winners of the NFL MVP Award have been quarterbacks, a streak that began when Peyton Manning received the honor for the fifth time at the end of the 2013 season. Since then, other notable QBs such as Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Aaron Rodgers and more have won the award.
There hasn't been a non-QB to win since running back Adrian Peterson in 2012. Could that change at the end of the 2024 season? It's possible.
Through 12 weeks, Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley has built a strong case to be in NFL MVP contention.
