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.
