Rashaad Penny wins FedEx Ground Player of the Week again

Rashaad Penny wins FedEx Ground Player of the Week again

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny has won the FedEx Ground Player of the Week for the second consecutive game. As a result, FedEx will once again donate $2,000 in Penny’s name to HBCUs, which will be used to finance scholarships for students.

Penny rushed for a new career-high of 190 yards and a touchdown against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 18. The fourth-year running back caught fire in the final month of the 2021 season and ended the year with another monster performance that he or his agent could use as leverage for a new contract in free agency, be it in the Emerald City or elsewhere.

Penny has openly stated that he hopes to return to Seattle, but we will see what they and other teams offer him in March.

Rashaad Penny earns FedEx Ground NFL Player of the Week honors

Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny has earned the FedEx Ground NFL Player of the Week award for his rushing performance against the Detroit Lions in Week 17. As a result, FedEx will donate $2,000 in his name to HBCUs, funding scholarships for deserving students.

Seattle’s fourth-year running back rushed for 170 yards and two touchdowns on the day, continuing his incredible late-season surge and also earning him NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors. He is approaching free agency in March and may have dramatically increased his stock at the perfect time, as he could receive lucrative offers from a few teams once the new league year officially begins.

Penny has been ineffective for most of this season but has compiled at least 135 rushing yards in three of the last four games and has looked like a star while doing so, which gives the Seahawks yet another difficult decision to make this offseason.
