Derrick Ward nominated

by Jared Blank on December 23rd, 2008 at 8:43 pm

Giants RB Derrick Ward has been nominated for the Week 16 FedEx WardGround Award.

In order to vote for Derrick head over to NFL.com/FedEx

Fans can vote up until 11 a.m. on Friday morning.  $1000 will be donated to the Safe Kids Coalition of New York if Ward wins.

Ward is 52 yards short of 1,000 yards. If he reaches the century mark, the Giants will be only the fourth team ever to have two running backs with 1,000 or more yards.

Well deserved for Ward to say the least.  As an FYI his competition is Cedric Benson and LeRon Mc Clain.  Good luck Derrick.

About Jared Blank

Giants. Mets. Rangers. Knicks. U of Michigan Tool. APC. True Story: circa 2004 I meet Eli Manning at a signing at the Palisades Mall. Me: "Good luck this weekend E" (as if I've been friends with "E" since we were in Middle School.) Eli: "Thanks" (or something that sounded like that). Manning went out that weekend and went 17-37 162 yards 1 TD and 2 INT with a QB Rtg. of 45.1 in his first career NFL start (a loss to the Falcons). We haven't spoken since.
