FedEx allows fans to recognize the season's top skill-position performances by voting at NFL.com/FedEx. Notably, the FedEx Air & Ground Players of the Week Awards no longer have positional restrictions. Instead, regardless of position, the two players with the most votes will be named winners when voting closes at noon PT on Wednesday.
As part of the initiative, FedEx will donate $2,000 in the names of each week's two winners ($4,000 total) to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). These donations will fund need-based scholarships for deserving HBCU students throughout the season.
