  Courtesy of Arena Football League Tulsa, OK (Sports Network) - Tulsa line backer JAMAR RANSOM, Oklahoma City quarterback TOMMY GRADY and Milwaukee line backer MARCUS EVERETT have been named the JLS Ironman, Russell Athletic Offensive Player and Riddell Defensive Player of the Week, respectively, for Week 6 of 2010. In addition to these three awards, the AFL is also highlighting the player who makes the best catch of the week, the playmaker of the week, and the highlight of the week. The Cutters Catch of the Week Award for Week 6 goes to Tulsa wide receiver DONOVAN MORGAN, while Orlando's wide receiver RAYSHAWN KIZER has been named the Playmaker of the Week. The highlight of the week award has gone to Oklahoma City's wide receiver TIMON MARSHALL.

  JLS IRONMAN OF THE WEEK Ransom (6-0, 230, Oklahoma State) was an integral part of the Talons' 62-56 victory over the Alabama Vipers in Week 6 action. Ransom acted as the heart of the team, getting his teammates pumped up and nailing key plays. His most memorable play of the game was in the fourth quarter, when he broke through the line and sacked Vipers' QB Kevin Eakin for a safety. It gave the Talons their first lead of the game that they would eventually go on to win. In addition to the defensive score, Ransom also tallied 7.5 tackles and a pass break up.

  RUSSELL ATHLETIC OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK Grady (6-7, 245, Oklahoma/Utah) had not only a stand-out performance for the weekend, it was also a stand-out performance for his season. Grady threw 34- of-42 for 430 yards and 10 touchdowns, all season-highs for the second year Yard Dawg. His completion rate of 81% is nearly 15 points higher than his season average. So far this season, Grady has tallied 1,513 passing yards, good for fifth most in the league.

  RIDDELL DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK Everett (6-1, 212, UCLA) is this week's defensive player of the week after his strong performance helped to lead the Milwaukee Iron to their fourth victory of the season. Milwaukee handed the Chicago Rush their first loss of the season, and Everett played a key role in the game. Everett tallied two interceptions, one which he ran back nine yards for a score and another which he ran back 46 yards for a score. The second interception was made one-handed and officially knocked the game out of reach for the Rush, bringing the score to 54-27. In total, Everett now has three interceptions on the season, good for second most in the league.
