Berry has been an inspiration to millions. Carson Palmer was a great pick and Adrian Peterson had a great season but Berry was the right choice all along. Think of how many people you know have been affected by cancer. Berry is probably someone those people look up to.
One question: who were these 12 people?
Chiefs' Eric Berry drew 38 of 50 votes from nationwide panel of sports writers and broadcasters, per the AP. Were the other 12 out to lunch?
