CoJones Wins the Commissioner’s Award

On Saturday night our very own Cobi Jones was the recipient of the Commissioner’s Award. This award is given to

“the group or individual that has made a difference and contributed significantly to the league and the sport in America. … “While his impact on the field is legendary, it is what Cobi represents as an ambassador for the sport and his commitment to being a role model/citizen athlete that truly sets him apart,” Garber said.

Congratulations, Cobi!
