VIZIO Announces Nominees for Top Value Performer Award and Calls on Fans to Vote for Their Favorite PlayerIRVINE, Calif., Jan. 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- VIZIO, Inc. today announced nominees for its eleventh annual VIZIO Top Value Performer (TVP) award which aims to recognize the professional football player whose on-field performance most exceeds the value of their base salary. Just as this season's TVP candidates serve as a great value to their respective teams, VIZIO continues to provide value to consumers as one of America's leading consumer electronics brands. The crop of candidates recognized for their efforts in the 2017 season features some of the top up-and-coming players in the league including Green Bay's Davante Adams, Baltimore's Alex Collins, Chicago's Jordan Howard, New Orleans' Alvin Kamara, and Minnesota's Jerick McKinnon. Fans are invited to visit VIZIO.com/TVP to vote for the player they believe is most deserving of TVP honors between now and January 14, 2017 at 11:59 p.m. PT. VIZIO has once again partnered with pro-football analyst and former general manager, Charley Casserly, to expertly determine this year's most deserving TVP nominees. In addition to Casserly, VIZIO also sought insight from Hall of Fame Running Back Terrell Davis, himself a former late round pick who added tremendous value to a championship winning team. Candidates for this year's TVP award were evaluated and selected based on their regular season performances, statistics and role in the success of their respective teams. These factors were then measured against their annual base salaries to select the five finalists. "When we started the TVP Award over a decade ago, we wanted to give fans across the country the chance to recognize the incredible performances and value these talented players bring to their respective teams," said Jeila Foroozani, VIZIO Director of Corporate Marketing. "This season's class is bursting with star power and we are excited for a highly competitive race where each nominee will rally for fan votes to clinch Top Value Performer honors." VIZIO is looking to fans nationwide to choose the 2017 Top Value Performer by voting online at VIZIO.com/TVP from now until January 14, 2017 at 11:59 p.m. PT. Fans visiting the site can also browse candidate stats and browse highlight videos from Casserly about each player.
