Below you’ll find the annual Saints Nation player awards for 2013. The awards are all chosen by me, largely influenced by the player grades, and I’ve included the 2012 winners for comparison’s sake. The Saints Nation rule: if you are chosen as the MVP, you cannot be chosen as the player of the year for your unit, and you cannot win more than one award. The MVP is back in the deserving hands of Drew Brees after taking a year off from that honor. I have to give a shout out to Akiem Hicks, too, as it was extremely close for most improved between him and Galette. Truly that one could have gone either way and I wrestled with it. Congratulations to the winners!
