A wide receiver has never won NFL MVP, and given the complexion of the league with quarterbacks being so heavily favored to win the award each year, it’s possible no receiver ever will.
Cooper Kupp came close last year, receiving one vote for NFL MVP thanks to his historically great 2021 campaign. He caught 145 passes for 1,947 yards and 16 touchdowns, leading the league in all three categories.
He was named Offensive Player of the Year, was voted to the Pro Bowl for the first time and earned first-team All-Pro honors, breaking out in a big way for the Rams.
