Going to be tough to beat AP, but my votes are in multiple times. Also let's not forget this rookie was also second in rushing yards this year as well.
Re: NFL: Air & Ground Players of the Year (Alfred Morris)
Any other year, Morris would win. Not this year. AP was a unreal this year with no quarterback.
Re: NFL: Air & Ground Players of the Year (Alfred Morris)
Heck any other year Morris would be in serious contention for OROY, but alas he has three others to really beat for the award one being this upstart qb wearing Redskins colors.
Re: NFL: Air & Ground Players of the Year (Alfred Morris)
I would feel like the biggest homer ever to vote for anyone other than AP. I'm trying to be objective.... Morris had the best regular season we've seen as a Skins RB, but Peterson was on another level.
Re: NFL: Air & Ground Players of the Year (Alfred Morris)
Yep, going to be hard to beat AP this year!
Re: NFL: Air & Ground Players of the Year (Alfred Morris)
I voted Manning too...dude was a machine, and I'm still in disbelief that Indy let him go.
Re: NFL: Air & Ground Players of the Year (Alfred Morris)
Manning is a beast. Incredible what he's been able to do.
Re: NFL: Air & Ground Players of the Year (Alfred Morris)
AlMo and RG3 just fed off of each other all year. They are a heck of a tandem to watch and I look forward to being able to see them grow.
Re: NFL: Air & Ground Players of the Year (Alfred Morris)
Both great stories. I'll remember them to the grandkids. AP almost broke an incredible record though... and 400 more yards than the next guys. That's an extra quarter of a season for a great running back (Morris.. ahem..).
