Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been named the Hickok Belt® Award winner for the month of December 2016. A select panel of members of the National Sports Media Association (NSMA) conducted the voting.

Other finalists for the month of December in order of how the NSMA voters ranked them included: Russell Westbrook (basketball), Matt Ryan (football), James Harden (basketball), Le’Veon Bell (football), Ezekiel Elliott (football), Joseph Parker (boxing), Evgeni Malkin (hockey), Justin Schultz (hockey) and Frederik Andersen (hockey).

His selection as the Hickok Belt® Award winner for the month of December 2016 recognizes Aaron Rodgers as “the best of the best” in professional sports for the month and finalizes the field of candidates eligible to receive the overall Hickok Belt® Award for 2016, joining Serena Williams, LeBron James, Clayton Kershaw, Jake Arrieta, Novak Djokovic, Steph Curry, Jason Day, Michael Phelps, Rory McIlroy, Corey Kluber and Ben Zobrist.
