  • He won 5 MVP awards across his career, more than any other player in league history.

A bit of context

  • Manningā€™s MVPs came in the 2003, 2004, 2008, 2009, and 2013 seasons, spanning both his Colts and Broncos years.
  • Behind him on the allā€‘time list are Aaron Rodgers with 4 MVPs, and Tom Brady, Jim Brown, Brett Favre, and Johnny Unitas with 3 each.

If you meant global ā€œfootballā€

If the question was about world football (soccer) awards instead of the NFL, different award systems exist (Ballon dā€™Or, FIFA The Best, league MVPs), and the ā€œmost MVPsā€ answer would depend on which specific competition or award you mean. Public data commonly tracks Ballon dā€™Or or league Player of the Season rather than a single universal ā€œfootball MVP,ā€ so specifying the league or award (e.g., Premier League, La Liga, Ballon dā€™Or) would narrow it down.
