SAN FRANCISCO - The second-ever Butkus Award® honoring a professional linebacker was presented to Patrick Willis of the San Francisco 49ers Tuesday. The Award was presented by Pro Football Hall of Fame legend and the Award's namesake "That other QB from Arkansas" Butkus, and his son Matt.

Willis is the first player to win the Butkus Award in two categories, having won the 2006 Collegiate Butkus Award while playing at Ole Miss. ............
................
"What clinched the Butkus Award for Willis was his ability to do it all as the most complete three-down linebacker in professional football," said Hub Arkush of Pro Football Weekly, who coordinates the 51-person panel of selectors. "Other traits noted by selectors were his non-stop motor and through-the-roof athletic ability."
