Double media for prospects

The Most Clutch Award - Player with the Most Pancakes in the Playoffs: Tore Andre Flo
You can play super well in the regular season, but if you don't show up in the playoffs no real contending team is going to sign you. If you're an offensive lineman that shows up in the playoffs you're going to find yourself either at center or left tackle. GMs need to keep an eye on this guy, he's a playoff performer who got 14 pancakes in the 6 round robin and 11 in the 2 playoff games. That's some good shit.
The Most Consistent Award - Player with the Most Consistent Round Robin Performance: Jospeh Tom
A lot of players found a way to have good games during the round robin, some even had double digit numbers in single games, but how many players went an entire game without a single pancake? Unfortunately the number is pretty high, well above 50% of the offensive linemen. But then you have a player like Joseph Tom who didn't have a single game without a pancake, and only one where he only had one pancake. This is what you call an every day professional. Everyone has bad days, but even on his bad days he still gets the job done. GMs need to keep an eye on this guy because he'll be someone that your QB can depend on, and a QB needs to be able to depend on the offensive line. He had 19 pancakes in 6 round robin games and 1 in the 1 playoff game he was in. That's some good shit.
The Biggest Performance Award - Player with the Most Pancakes in a Single Game: Footballer Blockerman
Sometimes in a game a player just turns it on like never before seen and they have a monster game. Now imagine that happening when there's already a huge mismatch between the offensive lineman and the defensive lineman. In week 3 Footballer Blockerman went totally ham on the opposing team and led the Pomona Mongooses with 10 pancakes in a single game absolutely embarrassing the opposing line. When you have to go up against a player with that sort of star power you're going to start dealing with having to play the mental game on top of the football game to convince yourself you even have a chance against Blockerman. GMs need to keep an eye this guy because his presence on field will be enough to intimidate the other team's defense. He had 24 pancakes in the round robin and 5 in the playoffs. That's some good shit.
The Best Cheerleader Award - Player with the Least Pancakes on the Playoff Victors: Givussafare Rubbe
Every team needs to have role players, people who take a backseat and are dependable that allow the true stars to step up and do their job. It's not knock against anyone, we can't all be number one. Rubbe took his role in stride playing a dependable game and doing his best to give his playmakers time to get the job done. Meanwhile he had his top linemen's backs the entire way. A perfect cheerleader to keep the offense's morale high. Rumor has it he brought juice boxes to every game for everyone to have afterward. GMs need to keep an eye this guy because role players are a huge part of the team, dependable guys that keep morale high and get the job done. He had 15 pancakes in the round robin and 5 in the playoffs. That's some good shit.
The Absolute Unit Award - Offensive Lineman Group with the Best Teamwork in the Entire Prospect Bowl: Flint Sun Tropics (Samuel Bakhtiari, Eeeee Silvveremm, Maximus Chungus, Tony Tonogai)
Playmakers matter of course, you need your center and left tackle to be really really good to give your QB time to make a play but what about when you don't have one clear standout from the rest of the group. That's when your offensive line's cohesiveness really shines through and you see them really start to work together. The Flint Sun Tropics totally killed it as a group with everyone contributing to the team and working exceptionally hard. Combined they had the most pancakes of any offensive line group in the prospect bowl with 72. GMs will need to keep an eye on these players because you need to have an offensive line group that can work together and these guys will find a way to make it work with any group. Together they combined for 62 pancakes in the round robin and 10 in the playoffs. That's some good shit.
The One Tackle Wonder Award - The Player with One Pancake in One Playoff Game: Jared Smithson
Some people want to be number one so badly that they'll do everything they can to get as many ones in their stats as possible. In his one playoff game Jared Smithson did an awesome job of blocking for QB and RB but made sure to only get one pancake. The guy is a one tackle wonder through and through. GMs will need to keep any eye on Smithson because this shows how unselfish he is. In the round robin he got 20 pancakes and 1 in the playoffs. That's some good shit.
The Other Four Award - The Last Four Players That are Left: Dudley Moore, Caden Bright, Garfield Despacito, Benjamin Gordon
Finally we have the last four offensive linemen that are left. These four totally kicked ass shutting down the defense and winning their teams games, why do you think both of their teams made the finals? Awesome offensive line. If I were a GM I'd make it my priority to get every one of these kids and put them on my offensive line on opening night. GMs need to keep an eye on these guys because they're going to be the backbone of at least one offense out there and if it's not yours you're going to get lit up by them. Together they combined for 62 pancakes in the round robin and 21 in the playoffs. That's some good shit.
