Mark Moseley, 1982 MVP
Moseley’s win in a bizarre, strike-shortened season was shocking even to him. “I think once I got nominated it was such an unusual thing that everybody voted for me. When they called me to tell me I had won it, I was shocked beyond words,” he said. Moseley had some clutch kicks for an 8-1 team, but he also went 16-of-19 on extra points and didn’t handle kickoffs for the Redskins. Dan Fouts led the league in passing yards and touchdown passes for the 6-3 Chargers, and Marcus Allen, then a rookie, led the league in yards from scrimmage and touchdowns for the 8-1 Raiders.
