00:00 not only win the award, but donate $20,000 to the HBCU program of their choice. Drew,
00:07 you're a four-time winner. Talk about what's going on with the FedEx ground and air player of the year.
00:12 So FedEx has been doing this for over 20 years now, giving out the FedEx air and ground players
00:17 of the year. I was fortunate to win this award four times during my playing career. It's a
00:22 tremendous honor. FedEx has been such a great sponsor of the league for so long, done so much
00:26 for player causes as well. So I'm actually proud to announce the winners this year, which is Brock
00:32 Ferdy from the San Francisco 49ers. He's the FedEx air player of the year, and the FedEx ground player
00:37 of the year is Christian McCaffrey. So it's actually the first time in history... where's my trophy here?
00:42 Here it is. Show this to you guys. Awesome, man. That's nice. Yeah, it's heavy. It weighs about 40 pounds.
00:52 So those two guys won the award this year. First time in history that teammates have won it.
00:57 They also get $20,000 that they get to allocate to the HBCU of their choice
01:05 for scholarship programs for deserving students.
