"I find out the day and mark that off on my calendar and always look forward to coming back to Northwest Arkansas," said Bedford, a former Georgia Tech center. "I wouldn't dream of missing this.
"It's a very special award and recognizes some incredible young men who have overcome long odds. It's a thrill and a delight and an absolute pleasure and honor to be here every year.
