    Who was the first defensive player to be named NFL MVP?

    Question #93246. Asked by jmatt13. (Mar 06 08 6:48 PM)

    		I'll say CHUCK HOWLEY.

    The Chicago Bears selected Chuck Howley in the first round of the 1958 NFL draft, but he retired after suffering what appeared to be a career-ending knee injury during the 1959 season. Howley decided to make a comeback in 1961, and his rights were traded to the Dallas Cowboys for future draft picks.

    He was the first defensive player named Super Bowl MVP.
