Most valuable player, an award, typically for the best performing player in a sport or competition
Someone who is doing MVP-level work without the fanfare, recognition, or visibility that typically comes with the title.

It's a vibe assessment more than a performance review, but it usually turns out to be accurate.

Watching someone's mvp arc unfold is a collective experience, and the phrase gets invoked at the turning point when the transformation becomes undeniable.
