Devonta Freeman is earning some well-deserved praise for his impressive season. The most recent way that he's been honored is by becoming a finalist for the Top Value Performer Award.

The award, which is given to the player whose performance exceeded all expectations, is run by Vizio, and gives fans the chance to win an 80" television by voting on who they want to win.

Freeman took to Twitter in a push to get the fans to vote:

Still need your help! Vote for me for #VIZIOTVP and get a chance to win your own TV! https://t.co/l46Qh4yNf4 #TVPFreeman #thanksguys

After rushing for 1,056 yards and 11 touchdowns, while also catching 73 passes for 578 yards and three touchdowns, it's no surprise to see him in the mix for the award. Freeman went from being a role player to being an elite, Pro Bowl running back, in the span of one season.
