“Now in its third decade, the FedEx Air & Ground NFL Players of the Year Awards will once again honor the best quarterback and running back performances of the season. Fans can help celebrate these standout athletes by voting for the FedEx Air & Ground NFL Players of the Year.”
But can they?
The NFL ran four different polls for the 2023 Air award since the end of the season. Dallas Cowboys’ QB Dak Prescott won every single one of them. Yet here is the NFL, awarding the honor to San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy.
The @49ers sweep the @FedEx Air & Ground Players of the Year honors!

How, Sway?
This isn’t the first time the NFL has done Prescott dirty when it comes to the FedEx Air honor. In Week 18, Prescott was removed from already-in-progress voting after posting 279 passing yards and four touchdowns in securing the NFC East title for Dallas.
Check out the reactions to this latest debacle.
What was the point of all the polls you made just to not use any of them?

Side note. Their account put out four polls that Dak won all of, removed them because Dak won them, then gave the award to someone else. https://t.co/GbN3GzEVai

How do you explain Dak winning all 4 polls y’all put out but Brock Purdy still winning the award?
