The 2013: Fan on Fire – Pro Football Awards – (Award Winners)

Here are the Winners for the 2013 Fan on Fire Pro Football Awards

Instead of Putting together an “All” Team like a lot people do every year, last year I decided to put together my own awards list.  Not necessarily awarding the best statistically in any given position, but awards that matter to me, and maybe to some of you.

Today I publish the list of Award Winners as chosen by poll by the fans.

Some may ask why?  But I ask why not?  So here are the Winners for the second annual 2013 Fan on Fire – Pro Football Awards.
