About this quiz

What this quiz covers

From iconic MVP runs to standout OPOY seasons and game-wrecking DPOY campaigns, this quiz checks whether you can connect the right player to the right award. Expect a mix of eras, positions, and memorable storylines.

Each question uses a 4-option multiple-choice format with no timer, so you can focus on recall instead of speed. Before you start, choose your question count and difficulty—go shorter for a quick warm-up or longer to really test your award knowledge.

Skills you’ll practice

You’ll sharpen your ability to separate similar seasons, teams, and award categories that often get blended together. It’s also great practice for remembering which awards were QB-heavy in certain stretches and when non-QBs broke through.

Distinguishing MVP vs OPOY vs DPOY criteria and typical winners
Recalling award winners across different decades and rule eras
Avoiding mix-ups between players with similar peak years or team changes
Spotting “outlier” winners that don’t fit the usual position trends
Building fast recognition from names, teams, and award context

Common pitfalls and how difficulty is balanced

A frequent trap is assuming the best player on the best team always won MVP, or confusing OPOY with MVP when a QB had a huge season. Another common mistake is swapping DPOY winners from the same era, especially when multiple defenders dominated in back-to-back years.

Difficulty is mixed on purpose: you’ll get some widely known winners alongside tougher, less-remembered seasons to keep the quiz fair but challenging. If you’re new, start with an easier setting and fewer questions; if you’re confident, increase both to face more tricky overlaps and deeper cuts.
