Super Bowl MVP[edit]

Main article: Super Bowl Most Valuable Player Award

The Super Bowl MVP Award is given out by the NFL to the best player in each Super Bowl. Three Packers players have won the award: Starr twice in the first two Super Bowls (I and II), Desmond Howard in Super Bowl XXXI and Rodgers in Super Bowl XLV.[32] The awardee is selected near the end of the game by electronic fan voting, which makes up 20% of the vote tally, while the remaining 80% is chosen by a panel of sportswriters selected by the NFL.[33] Prior to 1990, the award was sponsored by Sport magazine, who gave away a new car to the winner.[34] After the 1990 season with Super Bowl XXV, the NFL awarded the Super Bowl MVP with the Pete Rozelle Trophy, named after the former commissioner of the NFL of the same name.[33] Starr and Rodgers were given the award based on their exceptional passing during their respective Super Bowls.[34][35][36] However, Howard became the first special teams player to win the Super Bowl MVP. Despite quarterback Brett Favre throwing for two touchdowns and rushing for another during Super Bowl XXXI, Howard was given the MVP after setting then-records for the longest kick-off return (a 99-yard kick-off return for a touchdown) and most total return yards (244) in a Super Bowl.[37][38]

It is awarded to the winner each year at the Super Bowl Breakfast, an NFL-sanctioned event that occurs the day before the Super Bowl. Aaron Rodgers is the only Packers' player to have won the award, doing so in 2014.[54]

Bart Starr and Willie Davis are the only Packers players to have won the award, doing so back-to-back in 1967 and 1968; Starr was the inaugural winner.
