Reid has certainly done that … in addition to, as Captain Morgan likes to put it, being “someone who always spices up the game in a unique and fun way.”
Each of the 32 NFL teams has selected one #FanOfTheYear nominee to celebrate throughout the season, with prizes including team merch, gameday tickets, and access to the Super Bowl LVIII Fan Experience during Super Bowl Week in Las Vegas. One of those 32 nominees will be crowned the 2023 NFL Fan of the Year presented by Captain Morgan on stage at NFL Honors, the NFL’s primetime award special, presented LIVE from Las Vegas.
