The longtime Miami Dolphins coach had a regular-season record of 328-156-6 during a 33-year career, and coached in six Super Bowls, winning two of them. His 1972 team, which remains the only team to finish off a perfect season, will also be honored during the black-tie event.

The Lamar Hunt Award is named after the late Kansas City Chiefs owner who helped to found the AFL.
