Eric Berry Named 2016 KC Marriott Downtown Sportsman of the Year

After defeating Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Berry returned to the Kansas City Chiefs in time for 2015 training camp, then put together a season for which he was named a first-team All-Pro and a Pro Bowler.

At the NFL Honors in early February, Berry was also named the league’s Comeback Player of the Year.

On Monday evening, Berry was presented another honor at the

Kansas City Sports Commission Awards Banquet.

Berry is this year’s Kansas City Marriott Downtown Sportsman of the Year, an award given to a local male athlete who exemplifies all the positive aspects of sport and has made a positive impact on the Kansas City community.
