Brandon Graham Wins Tribune Silver Football Trophy

Submitted by RagingBean on
Just saw on the Big Ten Network and on the Tribune's website that Brandon Graham won the annual Silver Football Trophy, splitting the award with PSU's Darryl Clark. Honestly, I'll take this over the Coaches and Media votes for DPOTY, as this trophy has arguably as much history behind it as any sports award in the country. So big congratulations to #55! He's done the Maize and Blue proud one last time. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/college/chi-09-silver-football-tri…

that this will be the "last time" that BG will do us proud. I think he can tear it up in the NFL like Woodley. Really happy for this guy he deserves this award for sure. Glad to see him finally get some recognition. Depending on his combine performance he could be a top 10 pick. Thanks on the update.

that BG was the first player to win the award that came from a losing team. Talk about how much respect that he get from the voters who recognized his production and dominance despite the fact that he had no one around him and he was on a constant double team. BG deserves it. Couldn't have happen to a great football player and an even better person.

Anybody else notice their changing the name of Iowa's legendary hero to "Nike Kinnick"? I think that is taking the idea of product-placement one step too far...
