Auburn Equipment Manager Dana Marquez Wins Maxwell Football Innovation in Safety Award

Auburn's equipment guru and sewing machine master has won a pretty special award.

Auburn's equipment Manager Dana Marquez is a master of many trades. He gained notoriety during the 2013 Iron Bowl for making some repairs to a player's jersey using a sideline sewing machine. He is on the SEC's concussion committee. The thing he is most known for now though is for designing an new set of shoulder pads that help protect players much more so than the old shells.

Over the last few seasons, there have been questions asked about a peak of the old Russell Athletics logo seen on an Auburn football player.
