First, for any of you that aren’t aware of the Greatest Pre-Season Award in any sport, the Isaac Redman Award is given out annually to a young player who comes from relative obscurity and excites the fan base with their performance in training camp and the preseason.
Here are the guidelines handed down from days of yore, defining who is eligible for the award:
- Player must not be a draft pick higher than the sixth round.
- Player can only have participated in two other training camps prior to this one.
- Player demonstrated frequent references in comments regarding the likelihood of significant playing time in the coming year.
