The top 5 for the Jerry Rice Award seems to be clear cut, at least the 5 names that is.
I had to make some tough decisions on the Buchanan list.
Payton Award is very much up for grabs. I think you can argue several players there.
R.J. Harris should be under legit consideration for the Payton, and I mean be #1 or #2, if he has a big game this week. A nice 10-12 catch, 200 yard, 2-3 TD game would really be what he needs to argue that he should win it.

I had to make some tough decisions on the Buchanan list.
Payton Award is very much up for grabs. I think you can argue several players there.
R.J. Harris should be under legit consideration for the Payton, and I mean be #1 or #2, if he has a big game this week. A nice 10-12 catch, 200 yard, 2-3 TD game would really be what he needs to argue that he should win it.
