In what will surely be deemed an upset, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell has been named the FedEx Ground NFL Player of the Year.
Le'Veon Bell wins FedEx Ground Player of Year over @DeMarcoMurray. With all due respect, how? Bell had a great year; DeMo a better year.

There some dispute from those in the media who feel the award should have went to Dallas Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray.
Murray led the NFL in rushing with 1,845 yards — Bell finished second in the league with 1,361 yards. Both backs averaged 4.7 yards per carry.
Murray had 57 catches for 416 yards, while Bell was one of the top pass catchers in the league, with 83 for 854 yards.
