Since this award was first given out in 1972, seven offensive players have claimed this award more than once. However, Jerry Rice is the only receiver to win it multiple times.

Only four receivers have won OPOY since '72, but three of the four (Michael Thomas, Cooper Kupp, and Justin Jefferson) have won it in the last five years.
