The Fritz Pollard Alliance holds an annual award reception at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis. On Thursday evening Bills owners Terry and Kim Pegula were the recipients of the Tank Younger Award.
Given to persons who display outstanding work on and off the field in helping to level the playing field in the NFL, the Pegulas were fitting honorees in the wake of the contract extension for general manager Doug Whaley and the promotion of Kathryn Smith, the first full-time female NFL coach.
Though the Pegulas were unable to attend the ceremony, GM Doug Whaley accepted the award on behalf of the club’s owners.
