Celebrating Santonio Holmes’ MVP performance in Super Bowl XL

Cooper Kupp was chosen as the Super Bowl LVI MVP, the 56th Super Bowl MVP, the 8th wide receiver to be awarded that honor, and the 2nd in the last four years with Julian Edelman being chosen as MVP in Super Bowl LIII.

Before Edelman’s selection, only 6 receivers had been chosen as Super Bowl MVPs. Jerry Rice (SB XXIII), Fred Biletnikoff (SB XI), Deion Branch (SB XXXIX) and three Pittsburgh Steelers, Lynn Swann (SB X), Hines Ward (SB XL), and Santonio Holmes (SB XLIII).

As we roll into the NFL offseason, I wanted to go back and look at those three Steelers and their performances in the Super Bowl.
