The NFL is creating a new annual award to honor the player who garners the most sacks in a Season and it will be named in memory of the late Deacon Jones. I actually like the idea, I think it's time the NFL bestow awards to acknowledge the top players at their individual positions ala the Biletnikoff, Doak Walker, Davey O'Brien and the John Mackey Awards.
excerpt~
The NFL will honor the late David "Deacon" Jones with an award in his name given to the league leader in sacks.
The NFL's top pass-rushers will vie for the Deacon Jones Award for the 2013 season, according to NFL.com. The tribute was announced Saturday as part of Jones' memorial service in Los Angeles.
Jones, a Hall of Fame defensive end credited with terming the word "sack" for how he knocked down quarterbacks, died earlier this month of natural causes. He was 74.
