Bump--

Not sure how many read this... They should... with the list of former winners.

It was a great honor for Brian Waters and for North Texas... We now have two names on the list of winners in 40 years. It was originally called the "NFL Man of the Year".

Apparently every team nominates one person each year and then an NFL committee selects one of those 32 names as "NFL Man of the Year" ... Kurt Warner was the previous winner
