NEW YORK -- Buffalo's Reid Ferguson and Miami's Blake Ferguson -- brothers and fellow long snappers -- are among the 32 team nominees for the NFL's Salute to Service award this year.
The Salute to Service award, presented by the league and USAA, recognizes NFL players, coaches, staff and alumni for their commitment to honoring and supporting military and veteran communities.
The Ferguson brothers come from a family with a strong military background. Their grandfathers Jim Seale and Robert Ferguson, great uncle Jerry Seale and great grandfather Howard Seale all served.
Denver fullback/tight end Andrew Beck was last year's award recipient and will serve on the panel that selects this year's winner after three finalists are determined through a fan vote.
