NEW YORK (AP) - The NFL is showing appreciation for its fans after the lockout by having each team present a personalized jersey to 90 supporters.
Some teams will have the 90 fans run through the tunnel flanked by players and coaches during a preseason game. Other clubs will hold a pregame ceremony before an exhibition.
The Green Bay Packers kicked off the program Saturday during a special practice and scrimmage at Lambeau Field.
In a release announcing the program Monday, Commissioner Roger Goodell said: "This is an opportunity to recognize the millions of fans for their dedication and passion for the NFL, its teams and players throughout the year."
