There are dozens of people who work behind the scenes to make sure the Kansas City Chiefs are able to play every Sunday, a staff of people taking care of endless details on a daily and weekly basis. It’s nice, then, to be able to celebrate a man like Allen Wright, the team’s longtime equipment manager of 33 years who has received the 2017 Innovation in Safety Award from the Maxwell Football Club.
The Maxwell Club is the oldest football club in America, dating back to 1935. The most popular awards given by the club celebrate the best college football players in the country, but they also give other awards at all levels of competition.
