Tampa Bay quarterback Baker Mayfield and Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon have been voted the FedEx Air & Ground NFL Players of the Week for Week 1, the NFL announced today.
The votes are in and fans have selected the top FedEx Air & Ground performers of the week from games played on Thursday through Sunday. FedEx is proud to recognize quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers and tight ends who stand out on the field and deliver for their team.
By winning the FedEx Air & Ground NFL Player of the Week Awards, FedEx will proudly work with the Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF) to make a $2,000 donation in Baker Mayfield and Joe Mixon’s names to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).
Over the course of the entire season, select HBCUs will receive grants totaling more than $100,000 to support needs-based scholarships through the 2025-26 school year.
