In about 20 minutes, I’m going to walk upstairs in the media center to see Chris Johnson accept the FedEx Ground Player of the Year award.
If I see him on the way up there, I’ll tell him he doesn’t need to worry about coming in second.
“On the way to fed ex ground player of the year I hope I win ill know soon and ill be the first to let yall kno,” Johnson tweeted Wednesday.
Well, we know. Johnson is listed as the winner throughout promotions for the press conference Wednesday. (And they don’t invite second place anyway.) Drew Brees won the Air Award for the second straight year, but has more pressing issues to attend to, so his wife will accept the award.
Johnson is a funny dude; we’ll let you know if he says anything noteworthy about his desire for a new contract at the event.
