NFL Awards
Beginning in 1954 the Newspaper Enterprise Association (NEA) under the guidance of Murray Olderman [1], began to poll NFL players and award what became known as the Player's All-pro team. In addition, the NEA awarded a Rookie of the Year, a Most Valuable Player, and a Defensive Player of the Year. All were acceptied as official and were published in the NFL Record and Fact Book alongside the Associated Press, United Press International, and the Pro Football Writers Association All-Pro teams and awards. The NEA last announced awards in 1997, ending a 34-year tradition of the "Player's All-Pro Team". The NFL MVP award was called the Jim Thorpe Award and began in 1955. The Defensive Player of the Year was named after Chicago Bear founder George S. Halas and its inception was 1966, the Rookie of the Year award was named after NFL commissioner Bert Bell and began in 1964. In the early 1960s the NEA began awarding the Third Down Trophy that symbolized each team's MVP. That began in the American Football League and included the NFL after the 1970 AFL-NFL merger. Olderman, the driving force behind the Player's All-Pro teams and awards was also a fine artist and cartoonist. When the NEA news service released its stories on the annual NFL awards they were accompanied by artwork provided by Olderman to illustrate the stories.
