Historically, the Super Bowl MVP has been won by the great (Joe Montana, John Elway, Jerry Rice, Marcus Allen) and the not-so-great (Mark Rypien, DougWilliams, Santonio Holmes).
In the first round of the college draft in 1978, the Cardinals passed on quarterback DougWilliams (who won a Super Bowl for the Redskins in 1988) and tight end Ozzie Newsome (who went to the Cleveland Browns and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1999).
