Patrick Mahomes is the Super Bowl MVP favorite - NBC Sports

He’s currently not the favorite to win the more significant individual award: Super Bowl MVP.

Broncos linebacker Von Miller won the award in Super Bowl 50, and Seahawks linebacker Malcolm Smith won it two years earlier.

It’s usually a quarterback award, but receivers have won it four of the last 16 times.

A running back last won the Super Bowl MVP award 23 years ago, when Terrell Davis secured the honors for the Broncos.
