The FedEx Air and Ground NFL Awards will continue throughout the 2026 NFL season, recognizing top performances from quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers and tight ends while generating donations to Feeding America.
Each week, FedEx contributes $2,000 to Feeding America in honor of each Player of the Week winner, totaling $4,000 weekly. The money benefits local food banks in the winning players' cities.
Fans vote for two players each week from a pool of six offensive nominees. Voting opens Monday morning and closes Wednesday at 3 p.m. ET on NFL.com/FedEx, the NFL's Instagram and X accounts, and the NFL Mobile App.
This week's nominees are Brock Bowers, tight end for the Las Vegas Raiders; Marcus Mariota, quarterback for the Washington Commanders; Brock Purdy, quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers; James Cook, running back for the Buffalo Bills; Jahmyr Gibbs, running back for the Detroit Lions; and Bijan Robinson, running back for the Atlanta Falcons.
The FedEx Air and Ground Player of the Year Awards will be presented at the NFL Honors ceremony in Los Angeles during the week leading up to Super Bowl LXI.
Since 2003, FedEx has donated nearly $3 million through the program to nonprofits, charities and children's hospitals in the names of winning players. The partnership with Feeding America addresses food insecurity through a national network of food banks, pantries and meal programs across NFL communities.
