Chicago Rush News Release
Chicago Rush lineman John Moyer was named the Arena Football League's Lineman of the Year, the AFL announced today.
Moyer, named to the AFL's First Team All-Arena and All-Ironman teams last week, led the AFL with 10 sacks and also recorded a career-high 31 tackles, blocked four kicks, recovered three fumbles and intercepted a pass. With his 10 sacks this season, Moyer increased his career total to 28, moving him into ninth place on the AFL's all-time sack list. The six-year veteran was a finalist for the 2003 Lineman of the Year award and also was named First Team All-Arena in 2003 and Second Team All-Arena in 2002.
"Good things happen to good people," said Rush head coach Mike Hohensee. "John is a great football player and a hard worker, and the entire organization is proud of his accomplishments. Hopefully, he will have the opportunity to add a championship ring to his collection of awards this year."
The Rush (12-5) travels to San Jose (12-5) for an AFL semifinal match-up Saturday with the SaberCats. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. and fans in Chicago can watch the game on NBC 5, or listen to Rush announcers Tom Dore and John Jurkovic call all the action on ESPN 1000.
