NFL Award Predictions

Since I wrote my NFL season predictions for each team and also made a Heisman prediction (DeShawn Watson is going to go off!!), I will also write my projections for the NFL awards.  I'm not going to make a prediction for all of the awards, just because some of them seem impossible to project stats for.  So for the ones, I did make, I based them off of my divisional and playoff projections and the players and coaches that lead those teams.
