Some former SEC players pulled in big time awards at the NFL Honors show tonight, including former Auburn QB Cam Newton and former Georgia RB Todd Gurley.

Newton brought home the biggest award of the night: NFL Most Valuable Player. His family accepted the award for him.

Gurley clinched the Offensive Rookie of the Year award.

“This award means a lot to me, especially after coming off the ACL injury a year ago,” Gurley said. “lt’s a gift from God.”

But they weren’t the only ones bringing home the glory.

Gurley had 229 carries for 1,106 yards and 10 TDs in 2015.

Newton led his Panthers to the Super Bowl (Feb. 7) with his 45 touchdowns this season.

Berry’s win brought tears to some in the audience, as he was named the Comeback Player of Year after battling lymphoma during the 2014 season.

Greene was a walk on at Auburn before turning himself into a fifth-round draft pick. He stands at third in the NFL in career sacks with 160.

Stabler died of colon cancer in May 2015, and his brain was donated for testing. He became the first quarterback to win a Super Bowl (Raiders) and suffer from CTE.
