On Monday, we asked you all to vote for who you think will be the Man of Next Year in Sports. The nominees were Deron Williams, Robert Griffin III, Mike Trout, Anthony Davis, and Jon Jones. After tallying up the votes, the people have named their athlete for 2013.

Robert Griffin is the Man of Next Year in Sports. He's the new exciting face of the NFL who’s putting up record-setting rookie numbers, so it’s no surprise that his fans came out to support the Redskins QB. After all, they do have those RGIII “Hope” posters.

‘Skins fans believe in their QB and they have many reasons to do so. His QB rating of 97.3 has put him in the Top-10 of the league amongst the likes of Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger, and Aaron Rodgers. He has no competition when it comes to QB rushing yards as he’s racked up 476 on the year thus far. That’s over 150 yards more than second-place Cam Newton. As Griffin hones his skills, adjusts to the league, and makes his teammates better, the Redskins will likely develop into a team to watch out for in 2013 and beyond.
