Team Awards:

Offensive MVP: WR Jerry Reeves - I really wrangled over picking Reeves in the top of the second, but that turned out well too. He really did well this year, notching over 1200 yards and simply moved the sticks on a regular basis. With the consistency that Powell did not display, he was the cog that made our offensive machine work, and I expect more good things from him in the future.

Defensive MVP: CB Robbie Ramon – Well, it was either Ramon or Hill here. You don’t get 10 picks with a great CB, let alone a third round pick with a 35/35 rating. I don’t know that I have ever, in all my years of FOFCing and some Hall of Fame secondary players have I ever had 10 picks. Sean Stewart, my first ever draft pick in an FOF franchise (2k1) ended up with the most picks ever by any player and a Hall of Fame free sfety, and he never had more than 9 in season. Ten is incredible. Unthinkable.

Special Teams MVP: P Tracy Gomez - Blocking a FG like Caldwell did is pretty good and directly led to a score. Torres got another KR TD. However, it was Tracy Gomez that turned in a powerful performance game in and game out. His ability to put almost half of his punts inside the 20 while still getting the third most distance from his kicks is a testament to his ability, and even the voters had to give him credit by giving him an All League team spot.

Heart Award: DE Peter Hill – I could have gone Ramon here as well, but I felt with the Defensive MVP award in his pocket, I could instead honor another player who really played outside himself this year in a big way. I’ve mentioned it before, but Hill’s 13 sacks are a massive quantity coming from a 31/42 rated DE. He has a pass rush strength of 15 and a pass rush technique of 41 outta 55. This guy isn’t some sack specialist, he’s just a guy from the 5th round of no real skill. He had a destiny to sack QBs this season though, and no lineman would stop him. .
