Indianapolis Colts mascot Blue has been awarded the NFL’s Mascot of the Year Award, as he continues his exceptional fan-friendly work both on and off-the-field:

The award is voted on by Blue’s mascot peers, so needless to say, it’s a very prestigious award for such a spirited member of the Colts organization.
As you may recall, the NFL’s mascots are in-town this week in Indianapolis, as they look to square off against the PeeWee football players on Friday, starting 6:30 PM EST at Carmel High School:

The NFL’s biggest and brightest mascots will get to show off their football skills against a different PeeWee football team each quarter, as the game’s proceeds will be donated to charity.
Tickets are reportedly $7 and additional information about Friday’s game can be found here, which includes mascot signings, player autograph sessions, as well as appearances by the Colts cheerleaders among other fan festivities. Gates open at 4 PM EST.
