Happy New Year! The 2014 Saints Nation Awards are here and presented below as one final look back on the season. The awards are all chosen by me, largely influenced by the player grades, and I’ve included the 2013 winners for comparison’s sake. The Saints Nation rule: If you are selected as MVP you cannot be selected for another award. This is Mark Ingram’s second Saints Nation award (Rookie of the Year in 2011). Drew Brees is shut out of the awards for only the second time in 6 years. Thomas Morstead is the Special Teams Player of the Year for the 5th time in 6 years. Curtis Lofton is the defensive player of the year for the second time (2012). Congratulations to the winners!
