Now that the Super Bowl has come and gone and the NFL offseason is fully underway, it’s worth looking back to see which franchises in the 32-team league have produced the most award-winning players this century, with Tom Brady helping the New England Patriots score well leaguewide.
That’s because Brady’s three MVP awards, along with his former head coach (Bill Belichick) winning NFL Coach of the Year three times, helped push the Patriots total award count to nine since 2000, ranking second overall, behind the St. Louis/Los Angeles Rams, who have produced 12 award winners overall.
Which NFL teams have won the most major individual awards since the 2000 season? BetMassachusetts.com broke from Massachusetts sports betting updates to find out. This list includes MVP, Offensive Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, Coach of the Year, and Rookie of the Year. All awards are from the Associated Press except the top rookie from The Sporting News, because they have one ROY whereas the AP names two.

While the Rams' total 12 awards since 2000 ranks as the top amount in the NFL, New England’s nine placed second overall, ahead of the Baltimore Ravens (eight awards), Indianapolis Colts, and Minnesota Vikings (seven apiece).
Throw in three more NFL teams, in the Carolina Panthers, Green Bay Packers, and the New Orleans Saints (six awards each), and the three-way tie for ninth between the Chicago Bears, Pittsburgh Steelers, and the Tennessee Titans and you have the NFL top 10 covered.
Leaguewide, though, few teams have produced more top-notch talent than the Patriots have this century, which is of little surprise given the seven Super Bowl trophies that Belichick and Brady brought home to Foxborough during their time together, along with the exploits of New England’s talented defensive players during that time.
