2013 Super Bowl: NFL Honors picks

The NFL Honors where this years AP MVP will be presented along with other trophies will begin at 8PM Saturday evening on FOX network. Below are Go Titletown's picks for the winners of these 16 awards...

AP Coach of the Year - Bill Belichick

Fact is, Belichick came into 2013 with his back against the wall. He, the greatest coach in NFL                   history had screwed up in signing Aaron Hernandez and had let slip several other of Tom Brady's key           targets. With his quarterback getting older and his fan base growing restless, Belichick had one of his           best seasons of his career in 2013, leading the Patriots to yet another division title and a 3rd straight             AFC Title Game. If it were not for a personal feud he developed with Wes Welker, it might very well           be the Patriots playing against the Seahawks Sunday in New York largely because of how great a             job all mighty Bill did this season. It was not his fault the Patriots lost this year. His team was just 1                 guy too short.

AP Offenvice Player of the Year - Peyton Manning

AP Offencive Rookie of the Year - Eddie Lacey

Lacey joined a Packers team this year that had not had a 1,000 yard rusher in over 2 years. He used his massive body to pound defenses into submission and especially when Aaron Rodgers went down with an injury to his collarbone, Lacey carried this Packers team to the postseason.

AP Defensive Rookie of the Year - Kenny Vaccaro

Pepsi Next Rookie of the Year - Eddie Lacey

NFL.com Fantasy Player of the Year - Peyton Manning
     
Speaking from experience, Peyton Manning was a best in 2013 racking up all the statistics that won your team points in a fantasy game. As a guy, lucky enough to have snagged him in a draft I played with the auto pick on Peyton Manning seems to be the only pick to win this award.

Walter Peyton NFL Man of the Year - Charles Tillman

GMC Never Say Never Moment of the Year - Stephan Gostkowski recovers onside kick vs. Browns

FedEx Air and Ground Players of the year - Peyton Manning and Knoshon Moreno

Bidgestone Performance Play of the Year - AJ Green Hail Mary vs. Ravens

Among all the nominees, this was a play beyond what could have been imagined. With the game on the         line, Andy Dalton, a man never known for his down field throws, chucked the ball towards the endzone       only to see a crowd of Ravens converge on it. But as the ball bounced through the air, an unsuspecting         AJ Green watched as it never hit the ground and with no time left on the clock snagged the ball out of           mid air and just stood there in the end zone with the game tied. That play more than any other was an           example of the NFL at its very finest and for that reason it should win the play of the year honors.
