QB Or Not QB?
When it comes to the Super Bowl MVP, the quarterback is historically the center of attention. The winning QB was the MVP of the first four and five of the first six Super Bowls. The only winners of back-to-back Super Bowl MVP awards – Green Bay’s Bart Starr (Super Bowls 1 and 2) and Pittsburgh’s Terry Bradshaw (Super Bowls 13 and 14) – were quarterbacks. Peyton Manning's MVP in Super Bowl 41 is well-known. He led the Colts with precise passing. In Super Bowl 44, Drew Brees shined. He completed 32 passes, tying a record. These performances show how quarterbacks steal the spotlight.But as with most everything else in his career, Brady is the GOAT of Super Bowl MVPs as well. His four wins are the record, one ahead of San Francisco’s Joe Montana and two better than Bradshaw, Starr and QB Eli Manning of the New York Giants, who won both of his Super Bowl MVPS by beating Brady and the Patriots in the big game.Brady was selected by the #Patriots with the 199th overall pick in the sixth round of 2000 NFL Draft and has since:

The Role of Wide Receivers in Super Bowl MVP Selections
Wide receivers such as Lynn Swann, who won the Super Bowl 10 MVP, have amazing impacts. Swann’s acrobatic catches wowed fans and helped the Steelers beat the Cowboys. These performances show the wide receiver's big role in changing the game's flow.If Not Brady, Then Who?
Quick, without cheating, name the only position other than quarterback to earn a Super Bowl MVP award in the last nine Super Bowls?Did you guess linebacker? Denver’s Von Miller (Super Bowl 50) and Seattle’s Malcolm Smith (Super Bowl 48) were the only players to break through the QB stranglehold.Khalil Mack: Zero playoff sacks, zero playoff wins.

Defensive Players as Super Bowl MVPs
Richard Dent, from the Chicago Bears, had an unforgettable MVP win in Super Bowl 20. Dent's pressure led to two sacks and a forced fumble. He showed how a defense can control the game. So perhaps you want to consider Dante Fowler Jr of the Rams at +6600.New England’s other Super Bowl MVP with Brady at the helm was wide receiver Deion Branch in Super Bowl 39. No tight end has ever been Super Bowl MVP (sorry Gronk). Just one DT has been Super Bowl MVP. That doesn’t bode well for LA’s Aaron Donald (+2000). Basically, this award is Brady’s to win. But if New England doesn’t win, history tells us the MVP will be Rams QB Jared Goff (+225).Number 17 Super Bowl XXXIX Patriots- 24 Eagles- 21 MVP- Deion Branch 11 Rec 133 yards pic.twitter.com/i4SJ2aDUwa

Analyzing Brady's Specific Performance in Each MVP Win
In Super Bowl 36, Brady led a last-minute drive. It ended in a game-winning field goal. For Super Bowl 51, he led a historic comeback with 466 yards. Each MVP win showed his knack for excelling under pressure.Brady's Role with Fox Sports and Super Bowl LIX
In 2024, Brady began his broadcasting career with Fox Sports. He became their lead color commentator. His debut was during Super Bowl LIX. Brady's contract is reportedly $375 million for ten years. This makes him the highest-paid sports commentator. His transition adds a new chapter to his career.Brady's Involvement in Ownership and Business Ventures
Tom Brady has taken on ownership roles and business ventures. In 2023, he purchased minority stakes in both the Las Vegas Aces and the Las Vegas Raiders. This makes him an influential figure in sports management. He co-founded the NFT platform Autograph, merging it with DraftKings. His strategic advisor role at Delta Air Lines and merge with NoBull show Brady's wide interests. These moves solidify his legacy beyond football.
