The player who makes key plays, such as game-changing touchdowns, interceptions, blocks or kick returns that alter the course of the game, is the one with the highest chances of receiving this award.

Generally, quarterbacks are the favorites due to the direct influence they have on the game’s development. As the ones responsible for directing the offense and making crucial decisions in key moments, quarterbacks tend to be the focal point when it comes to choosing the MVP.

The award is not exclusively reserved for them. Players from other positions have also been recognized for their exceptional performances, such as those who make an interception in a critical moment or score a touchdown in the final second to secure the victory.

Media voting plays a key role in the selection. After the game, a panel of journalists and sports experts is responsible for choosing the standout player. This group evaluates the overall impact of each player during the game and decides who deserves the title.

In recent years, fan participation has also gained importance, allowing public opinion to influence the selection process in some way. However, in most cases, it’s the detailed analysis of each player’s performance that prevails.
