Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Torrey Smith's inspiring Week 3 performance is the 2012 GMC Never Say Never Moment Of The Year, the NFL announced tonight at "2nd Annual NFL Honors."
The GMC Never Say Never Moment Of The Year is the best moment or play of the year that represents determination and perseverance.
In what would become a preview of the AFC Championship game, the Baltimore Ravens and New England Patriots squared off in an emotional Week 3 showdown which would touch the hearts of many. Less than 24 hours after his brother died in a motorcycle accident, Ravens WR Torrey Smith, despite permission by his coach to sit out Sunday night's game, wanted to play. In one of the NFL's most inspirational individual performances, Smith produced the Never Say Never Moment of the Year, catching six passes for 127 yards and two touchdowns in the Ravens' come-from-behind victory over New England on* Sunday Night Football*.
Smith's performance was selected from among five moments by voters on NFL.com/gmc. The five finalists were selected among 17 of the most memorable GMC Never Say Never Moments during the 2012 NFL season. Each week the NFL selected three nominees for the moments of the week on which the fans voted for the winner on NFL.com/GMC.
