The Jets have voted and the winners are: Most Valuable Player (LB Quincy Williams) Ed Block Courage (RB Breece Hall) Kyle Clifton Good Guy (TE Tyler Conklin) Marty Lyons Community Service (ST ace Justin Hardee) Selfless Warrior (LB C.J. Mosley) Bill Hampton/Rookie Who Acts Like Pro (WR Xavier Gipson) Dennis Byrd Most Inspirational Player (QB Aaron Rodgers)
Kyle Wilson "Never Look Back" Award (most egregious penalties) - Mekhi Becton Vernon Gholston "The Gym is THAT WAY" Award (best shirtless posing) - Michael Clemons Justin McCareins "Alligator Everything" Award (least valuable FA signing) - Allan Lazard I'll come up with more later
Both worthy nominees. I think Tomlinson passed that torch to Lazard this year tho. Lazard gets the ironic distinction of receiving two awards on the evening.
Who won the Adrien Clark “Traffic cone” Award (Most useless OL to start a game)? Has to be Billy Turner no? Genius idea on the alternate awards
I wonder if any of the guys who voted even know who Dennis Byrd was? Few were even alive when he was playing.
And, while accepting the award, Lazard gives a big shout out to Joe Douglas, the only GM in the league stupid enough to give the slow, plodding Lazard, a former undrafted free agent, a $44M contract. Also wildly cheering Douglas are Tomlinson, Uzomah. Cook, and Brown, who together with Lazard signed for over $110M, thanks to Douglas' stupidity. Meanwhile Becton, Zach, and McDonald are also thanking Joe Douglas too for drafting them light years ahead of their true ability. Lastly, the agents for all those overpaid football players just mentioned put in a nomination that Joe Douglas be named GM of the year for so enriching their lives and the lives of their clients!
Yeah, the team really should give rookies a lesson in the high points of Jets history. It wouldn't take long.
