NFL looking for 'Way to Play’ high school award nominations
The NFL Way to Play High School Award was created in conjunction with the NFL Legends to promote proper playing technique across all levels of football for the second season.
“The Way to Play Award is about excellence in football through using proper technique that protects players from unnecessary risk,” said Troy Vincent , NFL executive vice president of football operations. “This award incentivizes strong fundamental playing technique, demonstrates best practices, and at the same time, benefits all levels of the game.”
Through this initiative, and in partnership with Hudl, one high school player will be honored each week during the regular NFL season for displaying exemplary football technique.
The high school award recipient will be announced on NFL Network each Saturday morning, and the school of each honoree will receive a $1,500 equipment grant through USA Football.
