Eagles defensive lineman Chris Long has won

Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year for his outstanding community service.Long http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-deandre-carter-jersey , the son of Hall of Famer Howie Long, founded the Chris Long Foundation in 2015, and tasked it with four missions: clean water, military appreciation, combating homelessness and serving young people.Then Womens Nigel Bradham Jersey , last season, Long donated his entire salary to support education in cities where he has played — St. Louis, Boston and Philadelphia.Earlier this year, Long climbed Mount Kilimanjaro with other NFL players and some U.S. military veterans to raise money to build clean water wells for East Africa.“Yeah, it’s a tremendous honor Brandon Brooks Jersey ,” Long said. “It’s not why we do the work we do off the field. I think the other 31 nominees are remarkable men. I had the privilege of hanging out with them all week and a lot of them already know I learned (about) a lot of their causes and I’m excited to see if there’s synergy as a brotherhood in different causes that we are involved in.“I don’t know, I’m very humbled.

Hence the Broncos picture above this article.The Eagles released Nelson a week ahead of final roster cuts prior to their fourth and final preseason game.Here’s The Falcoholic’s take on the Nelson signing:
