NFL MVP Winners by NFL Teams and by College Football Programs

The AP NFL MVP award was first presented in 1957
When former Syracuse Orangemen Jim Brown earned the first Associated Press NFL MVP Award as a member of the Cleveland Browns, both
NFL and collegiate fans began to follow this award earnestly. With the prestige associated with being a winner of this
individual award, not only do that NFL team's fans cheer with delight, but so do the college fans who once enjoyed seeing that star
shine on Football Saturdays.
