The Athletes in Action/Bart Starr Award is given annually to an American football player in the National Football League (NFL) who "best exemplifies outstanding character and leadership in the home, on the field, and in the community". The award is presented by Athletes in Action (AIA), a sports ministry associated with Cru. It is presented to the winner each year at the Super Bowl Breakfast, an NFL-sanctioned event that occurs the day before the Super Bowl. Bart Starr, the Hall of Fame former quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, partnered with AIA to present the award that bears his name. In 1989, Steve Largent, the Hall of Fame former wide receiver for the Seattle Seahawks, was presented with the first award during the second Super Bowl Breakfast. The most recent awardee is Minkah Fitzpatrick (pictured), a safety for the Pittsburgh Steelers, who received his award this year. (Full list...)
