No because a player should be awarded for being a good player. Makes no sense for a player who averages 12 plays a game is third on the DC to get an endorsement. not realistic in anyway. Endorsements are handed out to the players that can sell a product with their face, players that fans look up to. Do you think they look up to the QB who throws 20 interceptions for 1,000 yards, or do they look up to the QB who through for over 6000 yards with only 2 interceptions, and is the reason for the wins.
I am not saying that every player who gets a trophy deserves an endorsement, rather that they look at all players at that position who did receive a trophy and use some sort of formula to decide which gets the trophy. Lets look at QB's, they can get a trophy for most passing TD's and Most passing yards and there are 3 places for each of them so that means that technically anywhere from *1 to 6 QB's in each league are getting a trophy. Odds are good that one of them deserve the endorsement.
I am not sure what all the trophies are that are handed out for each position, but a lottery is just sad. We were better off without the fame.
