With the NFL season coming to an end, it seemed like a great time to hand out awards for the Texas A&M Aggies currently in the NFL. In 2022 there were about 31 Former Aggies on an NFL roster in some way or another in addition to a handful of Aggies on NFL coaching staffs prepping for the upcoming off-season.
I’ll be handing out 5 awards: Rookie of the Year, Offensive Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, MVP, and Coach of the Year. For the current players, my criteria are that they spent 2 full non-redshirt (regular) seasons playing, or they ended their playing career at Texas A&M. Kyler Murray would not be eligible, but Kyle Allen and Trevor Knight would be eligible.
I’ll be the first to admit three of these were very easy to choose but we’ll name a winner and a runner-up no matter how far behind they were.
Drum roll, please…
