NFL Establishes Protector of the Year Award
The NFL has announced the creation of the Protector of the Year award, a recognition that will be given to the best offensive lineman in the league. The announcement was made during the league’s spring meeting on Wednesday.
The winner will be selected by a panel of experts, which will include prominent figures from the past who shone on the offensive line.
Troy Vincent, NFL Executive Vice President of Football Operations, highlighted the crucial role of Dion Dawkins, left tackle for the Buffalo Bills, and former offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth in the initiative to establish this award.
