Arduous as it is to fathom, the Philadelphia Eagles — the reigning Super Bowl champions — have never claimed an AP NFL MVP in the Super Bowl era.
Only one player — quarterback Norm Van Brocklin in 1960 — has been voted league MVP in the Eagles’ history, which dates back to 1933.
Heading into the 2025 season and toward a bid at back-to-back Super Bowl victories, the Eagles could well have two bona fide MVP candidates in quarterback Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley.
Barkley and Hurts represent a Philadelphia club that’s one of seven in the NFL to have never had a player win MVP in the Super Bowl era.
They’re joined by the Arizona Cardinals, Houston Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars, New Orleans Saints, New York Jets and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Should MVP history be made in 2025 for one of these seven teams, here’s a look at who the likely front-runners are to win the annual honor.
