Award is only given periodically, specifically this award has only been given out nine times since 1972. There seems to be some notability, but sources don't seem to be totally independent. I would support this being Merged with Pro Football Hall of Fame since that's where the award comes from, but I don't know if the award should have it's own space. Some content can be salvaged there.

Merge with Pro Football Hall of Fame, as the origin of the award. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 20:52, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Pinging Vinnylospo, What are your thoughts on merging your article into the Pro Football Hall of Fame article? I think the content you've put in this article is perfect for supplementing that page. Let us know what you think. Spf121188 (talk) 15:52, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Pro Football Hall of Fame per above. Not enough WP:SIGCOV in independent sources to establish notability as a standalone topic, but certainly enough to warrant a mention in the merge target article. Frank Anchor 16:20, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
