The Associated Press stopped releasing NFL Players of the Week in 1973 and Pro Football Weekly began in 1978 leaving a 1974-77 gap.We've attempted to fill that gap, cribbing quite a lot from Prolog magazine, NFL Report, and from Pro Football Weekly's annual in 1977. While we've worked on this a long time that does not mean we are 100% right. So, we welcome comments and would be willing to change if a case is made that we're wrong.
The picks—
Walter Payton Week six and nine PFJ Offensive POW |
Ray Guy |
The year for Walter Payton but Stan White for the Colts/Lions had a great career as well.
ReplyDeleteDorsett had an excellent SB but Doomsday was not going to be denied. The first complete game I ever watched and a Staubach fan for life. What an intense defensive game ...
DeleteI think Walter P. deserves it for Week 1 & Nat Moore for Week 2.
