Players vote for the winner on their Pro Bowl ballots.
The winner will be announced at the NFL Honors ceremony the night before the Super Bowl.
$25,000 will be donated by the NFL to the winner’s charity of choice.
Browns Fans Think Chubb Is The Perfect Choice
While they may be a little biased, it is hard not to think of Chubb when mentioning the qualities of fair play and integrity in competition.
That is the definition of Nick Chubb.
Definitely well deserved….Go Chubb

There are not too many players more humble and team-oriented than Chubb.
Even if he is not the winner, the fact that he made it as one of the eight finalists speaks volumes about who he is.
It has not been an easy road to be a Brown for the past five years, but Chubb is a class act who just keeps working and continues to get better.
