In 2000, the RMFL had 9 teams in the league and a quarterback/place-kicker/team leader won the RMFL MVP award. In 2002, the RMFL had a 9-team league and a quarterback/place-kicker/team leader won the RMFL MVP award. Jeff Belnap epitomized what it means to be the league's most valuable player. In another close MVP voting, Belnap edged out Hollis Huggins, the Helena Titans running back/kick returner to garner his first MVP award and cap a great season. Belnap lead the league in passing and kicking. He lead the Silverbacks to a 7-1 regular season record and into the RMFL championship for the second straight year, coming up a little short against the Idaho Falls Mustangs. Jeff Belnap made a good team great.
In the Defensive MVP balloting, the vote wasn't quite as close. Mustang linebacker and ex-New Orlean Saint, Ron Childs, won convincingly. Childs had 50 votes while his closest persuers, Andrew Ulberg (defensive lineman for the Madison Lionz) and Spencer Steiner (linebacker for the Helena Titans) had 36 and 32 votes respectively. Childs lead the RMFL in tackles while also recording 5 sacks from the linebacker position. Childs dominated and players around the league recognized his great contribution to the league champion Mustangs.
In the Offensive MVP balloting, history was once again repeated. In 1997 and 1998, the best wide receiver in the league won the Offensive MVP award. That receiver lead the league in pass receptions, yardage and touchdowns. That player was Sean Powell of the Idaho Falls Mustangs. While Powell has continued to be one of the league's prime receivers, Pocatello's Brock Gunter has soared into the limelight, devastating defenses with great aerial catches, dangerous cut-back running and overall exceptional play from the wide receiver position. Gunter has lead the league in reception yardage for two straight seasons (Chance Leeds was the receptions champion in 2001). Gunter garnered 44 votes, outdistancing Hollis Huggins by 7 votes and teammate Belnap by 8 votes.
