In 2020, Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers became just the sixth player to win the National Football League (NFL) Most Valuable Player Award (MVP) award three times. Rogers joined Pro Football Hall of Famers Peyton Manning, Jim Brown, Johnny Unitas, Brett Favre, and Tom Brady (Manning won the league MVP a record five times). Rodgers was one of two active players in 2020 to win the MVP award multiple times.

According to the Associated Press, an American non-profit news agency company, the Associated Press NFL Most Valuable Player Award is presented annually by the Associated Press (AP) to a player in the National Football League (NFL) deemed to have been the "most valuable" in that year's regular season. Starting in 1957, the AP has presented an award recognizing the NFL's top player. The award is voted upon by a panel of 50 sportswriters at the end of the regular season, before the playoffs, though the results are not announced to the public until the day before the Super Bowl. The sportswriters chosen regularly follow the NFL, and remain mostly consistent from year to year. They are chosen based on all of their football expertise and are independent of the league itself.

Research shows us that only two players in the history of the MVP award have won it unanimously. One is the 2020 Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady who won the award in 2010 with the New England Patriots. The other is Lamar Jackson who won in 2019.
