Aaron Rodgers named AP Male Athlete of Year
Written by playerpress.com, Wednesday December 21 2011
After an MVP performance in the Super Bowl and a 13-0 run to begin the season, is it really a surprise that Aaron Rodgers unanimously took home another prestigious award?
I think not.
On Wednesday, Rodgers was named the Associated Press 2011 Male Athlete of the Year.
The Packers quarterback received 112 votes out of 212 ballots, beating out Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander, who finished second with 50 tallies.
The other nominees spanned the entire sports spectrum — tennis sensation Novak Djokovic, Panthers quarterback Cam Newton, and NASCAR driver Tony Stewart.
Rodgers is arguably the clear-cut candidate for MVP of the 2011 season, as he’s passed for over 4,300 yards and 40 touchdowns with two games to go. If he can lead the Pack to another Lombardi Trophy, we may see his name atop the AP ballot next year, too.
