Regarding individual accolades, winning MVP is the biggest in the NFL.
It’s extremely hard to do as a rookie, given it goes to the league’s best player.
In 2023, Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud is making a case midway through the season. Following Week 10, Stroud is +2000 to win.
Only NFL Rookie To Win MVP
Jim Brown is the sole rookie to ever win NFL MVP.
That season, Brown was a Pro Bowler and All-NFL team member. He rushed for 942 yards on 202 carries (4.7 yards per carry) with nine touchdowns in 12 games. He also caught 16 passes for 55 yards and a touchdown, and returned six kicks for 136 yards.
That ended up being the lowest rushing total of his entire career. He retired with 12,312 yards and 106 rushing touchdowns to go with 2,499 receiving yards, 262 catches and 20 touchdowns through the air.

Brown was a unanimous All-NFL first-teamer eight times, was a nine-time Pro Bowler and was a three-time AP MVP. In nine seasons, he never missed a game.
He went on to earn his place in the Hall of Fame. According to the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s website, coach Paul Brown usually didn’t rely on rookies heavily.
But Jim Brown was different. The sixth overall pick in 1957, he accomplished a feat as a rookie no one has since.
