    Davis also awarded AFC player of the month like in the other post...

    Williams, Davis honored with NFL awards

    By JOHN McCLAIN
    Copyright 2008 Houston Chronicle


    Texans defensive end Mario Williams and receiver André Davis won awards on Thursday.

    Williams, who registered 14 sacks, was voted NFL defensive lineman of the year by the NFL Alumni Association.

    Davis, who returned three kickoffs for touchdowns in December, was voted AFC special teams player of the month.

    Williams will receive his award at the annual NFL alumni banquet two days before the Super Bowl.

    Williams is the third Texans player to be honored by the NFL alumni. Jerome Mathis made the team as a kickoff returner in 2005. In 2006, Andre Johnson was voted best receiver after leading the league with 103 catches.

    Davis, who will become an unrestricted free agent on Feb. 29 if the Texans can’t sign him to a new contract, was the second Texans player to win a player-of-the-month award. Defensive tackle Amobi Okoye was voted defensive rookie of the month for September.

    Mad probs to Mario. I'm so happy, after all the **** he and his fans took the first year (and most of this one....cause the nay sayers didn't know how well he was doing...).

    Go Mario! Go Texans!

    Going to my first game next season. (opening game!) :)

    Good for him. Vindication for him from folks like me who doubted him.

    They will probably have Mario at 88 (with 50 strength) and Reggie at 99

    awesome! So happy for the guy and it's nice to have silence from the annoying people who continually bashed the dude his rookie season and while playing HURT!

    if mario improves as much last year (play/skill wise, not necessarily the same increase in #'s).... WOW :eek:

    it doesn't matter. he sucked last year and that's the only thing that's important. and that's why he's not worthy of being the number 1 pick.

    I think he's channeling Hillboy and his bizarre argument against Mario.
