Ranking the last 5 NFL MVP winners entering the 2022 season feat. Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers

Winning the NFL MVP award is one of the most prestigious individual honors of each season. It’s voted on each year and awarded to the individual NFL player who was deemed the most valuable to their team’s success during that particular season. It often ends up being awarded to the player who was the most important factor on a successful team.

The NFL MVP award has been dominated by quarterbacks in recent history, including each of the last nine consecutive winners. The last five quarterbacks who won the award are set to be Week 1 starters for their teams entering the 2022 NFL season. Here’s how the five quarterbacks currently stack up against each other based on their outlook this year.

#5 – Matt Ryan

Indianapolis Colts QB Matt Ryan

Ryan was traded to the Indianapolis Colts during the 2022 offseason as the Falcons are currently rebuilding their roster. The Colts missed out on the playoffs by just one game last year and believe Ryan can help them reach the next level. Prior to missing the mark by 32 yards last year, he has exceeded 4,000 passing yards and 20 touchdowns in ten consecutive seasons.

#4 – Lamar Jackson

Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson

Lamar Jackson has been HIM since entering the league:- 37-12 as a starter- Unanimous MVP- 2x Pro Bowl- 1x All-Pro- Single season rushing record for a QB- Most wins by a QB before turning 25More to come 😈 @Lj_era8 https://t.co/9y7136OLgt

Jackson has established himself as one of the best rushing quarterbacks of all time. He is the only quarterback ever to exceed 1,000 rushing yards in a season more than once. He already ranks seventh in career rushing yards among quarterbacks, despite only playing four seasons so far.

#3 – Patrick Mahomes

Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes

Mahomes has exceeded 4,000 passing yards and 25 touchdowns in all four of his seasons as a starter. He had a bit of a down year to his standards in 2021 after setting a career high in interceptions and a career low in passer rating, but will look to bounce back in 2022.

#2 – Tom Brady

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Tom Brady

Tom Brady has won 3 Super Bowls, 2 Super Bowl MVP’s and a league MVP since Max Kellerman said this https://t.co/3DEKZXLdqb

Brady put together one of the best seasons of his NFL career in 2021. He led the entire NFL in passing yards and touchdowns, while setting a new career high in yards and throwing his second-highest touchdown total. Despite his incredible efforts, he was not named the MVP of the season.

#1 – Aaron Rodgers

Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers

Rodgers is one of the most efficient quarterbacks of all time, recording the best career ratio of touchdowns to interceptions of any quarterback ever. In the last two seasons, each of which earned him an MVP, he has combined to throw 85 touchdowns and just nine interceptions.
