I believe there have been four winners since the NFL-AFL merger. Barry Sanders was the last to win both. He won the Heisman in 1988 and shared the NFL MVP with Brett Favre in 1997. Marcus Allen won the Heisman in 1981 and the MVP in 1985. Earl Campbell won the Heisman in 1977 and the MVP in 1979. Finally, OJ Simpson won the Heisman in 1967 and the NFL MVP in 1973. Don't forget Paul Hornung -- the first to do it.
Paul Hornung, O.J. Simpson, Earl Campbell, Marcus Allen, and Barry Sanders have each won the Heisman Trophy and an NFL MVP award.
There are several entities that award an MVP to an NFL player. Currently, the Associated Press, Pro Football Writers of America, and Maxwell Football Club give out an NFL MVP award. As of the 2007 season, no player has won an MVP award more than three times. Those that have won an MVP award three times are: Brett Favre, Jim Brown, John Unitas, Randall Cunningham, and Otto Graham. *Peyton Manning has won 4 MVP awards as of 2010
