Ranking the last 5 NFL MVP winners entering 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
Matt Ryan has spent his entire career so far with the Atlanta Faclons. His most successful season was during his 2016 campaign when he was named the MVP of the league while helping the Falcons appear in the Super Bowl.
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
Lamar Jackson put together one of the most dominant seasons of all time in 2019 when he was named the league MVP. He became just the second player in NFL history to win the award unanimously after receiving all 50 of the official votes.
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.
