GREEN BAY — Throughout the history of the Bishop’s Charities Game, beginning with the first game in 1961, Most Valuable Players were selected and honored during a pregame ceremony the following year. The awards were temporarily discontinued from 1964 to 1968. Offensive and defensive MVPs were selected from 1961 to 1963; 1969 to 1998, 2000 and 2001. In 1999, quarterback Matt Hasselbeck was named the solo MVP. Individual MVPs were recognized from 2002 to 2018 except for the 2010 game when both Aaron Rodgers and Jermichael Finley were selected.
Quarterback Lynn Dickey (1977, 1980, 1981 and 1984) and linebacker Brian Noble (1985, 1986, 1990 and 1993) are the only four-time Bishop’s Charities Game MVPs. Rodgers was honored three consecutive years (2008, 2009 and 2010). Quarterbacks were named MVP of the Bishop’s Charities Game 20 times, the most of any position.
