How many players have won both the NFL MVP and the super bowl mvp in the same season?

6 times (so far).

Bart Starr (1966)

Terry Bradshaw (1978)

Joe Montana (1989)

Emmitt Smith (1993)

Steve Young (1994)

Kurt Warner (1999)

Brett Favre (1996) won the League MVP, but the Super Bowl MVP that year was surprisingly awarded to Desmond Howard.

Peyton Manning will obviously have an opportunity to become the 7th in the 2009 season, when he plays in Super Bowl XLIV.
