The Madden Most Valuable Protectors Award was a trophy awarded annually to the best offensive line of the National Football League.[1] The trophy, sponsored by Prilosec OTC, is named in honor of former NFL coach and commentator, John Madden.[2] Designed and sculpted by artist Tom Tsuchiya, the award's shape is meant to evoke a castle wall with the figures of the five offensive line players representing battlements.[3] The bronze trophy, finished with a silver nitrate patina, weighs 102 lbs (42.3 kg) and stands 161⁄2" (42 cm) tall.
Five offensive lines were selected as finalists by John Madden and a team of four from the NFL Network: Jamie Dukes, Marshall Faulk, Rich Eisen and Steve Mariucci before an online fan vote at NFL.com which would determine the winner.
