The New York Jets have honored the late Dennis Byrd by voting to posthumously select the former defensive lineman as the winner of the team's award named after him. The Dennis Byrd Most Inspirational Award has been presented each year since 1992 - with Byrd the first winner - to the most inspirational Jets player by a vote of his teammates. Byrd, who played for the Jets for four seasons, was killed in a car accident in Oklahoma in October.
