Three representatives of the Lions were been nominated for awards during the event. Ben Johnson, the team’s offensive coordinator, was a finalist for the Assistant Coach of the Year award, Aidan Hutchinson was nominated for the Defensive Rookie of the Year, and quarterback Jared Goff was chosen as a nominee for the Walter Payton Man of the Year award.
