The Athletes in Action/Bart Starr Award is given annually to a National Football League (NFL) player who "best exemplifies outstanding character and leadership in the home, on the field, and in the community". The award is presented by Athletes in Action (AIA), which is a sports ministry associated with Cru. It is awarded to the winner each year at the Super Bowl Breakfast, an NFL-sanctioned event that occurs the day before the Super Bowl. The nominee list is compiled from a group of individuals made-up of the Public Relations Directors of every NFL team, past award winners and AIA staff. The nominee list is trimmed to 10 players, with the award winner chosen by AIA leadership and past award winners. The award was first given at the second Super Bowl Breakfast in 1989. Bart Starr, the former hall of fame quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, partnered with AIA to present the award that bared his name. Starr was selected by AIA because he was an "individual of impeccable character who has served his family and community faithfully through the years and is a role model for athletes and business people alike". Starr presented every award until 2015, when a stroke prevented him from attending the Super Bowl Breakfast anymore. Since 2015, Tony Dungy and Starr's son have presented the award in his honor. Steve Largent, the former hall of fame wide receiver for the Seattle Seahawks, was the winner of the inaugural award in 1989. Since then, 36 NFL players have received the award. This includes Eugene Robinson, a safety for the Atlanta Falcons, who returned the award after being arrested the night after he received it for soliciting sex from an undercover police officer. Historically, the award has only been given to one player a year, however in 1998, Irving Fryar and Brent Jones shared the award. The most recent awardee was Kirk Cousins, quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings, in 2023.
