LB Jackson named Player of the Year
The Cleveland chapter of the Pro Football Writers of America has voted middle linebacker D’Qwell Jackson its PFWA Player of the Year.
Safety Mike Adams was named the PFWA Dino Lucarelli “Good Guy Award” winner, which means he was probably one of the anonymous veterans whose comments appeared during the Peyton Hillis “intervention” mess.
Both awards make sense.
Jackson has started every game this season, totaling 145 tackles, 3.5 sacks, three fumble recoveries, one interception and one forced fumble. His 145 tackles are the second-most in the NFL this season and his three fumble recoveries are tied for second.
According to the press release issued by the Browns, the “Good Guy Award” goes to a player for his “cooperation with the media and for the way the player carries himself in the community and with his teammates.”
Adams has a foundation called “Rising Stars” dedicated to improving the conditions of families in low-income areas. He has started every game and recorded 55 tackles, a team-leading three interceptions and one fumble recovery.
In addition, whenever you read the phrase “one veteran said” in a Browns story, it’s never a reach to think it’s probably Mike.
